The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), announced the Top 10% of health centers receiving Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges for their achievements in improving health outcomes and providing high-quality care for patients in rural and underserved communities.

The CHQR badge program honors the health centers across the country that provide excellent quality of care to patients by HRSA clinical quality measures standards and clinical quality performance. This includes a variety of clinical areas, such as behavioral health, maternal health, diabetes health, heart health, cancer screening, and HIV prevention and care, as well as overall quality performance.
