Press Center
The Association of Clinicians for the Underserved regularly provides guidance and perspective to members of the press center on critical issues in care for the underserved.
We are the leading voice for clinicians serving underserved communities throughout the United States, as well as the National Health Service Corps. Our staff and members lay claim to a tremendous wealth of knowledge on topics such as suicide prevention in primary care, vision services for the underserved, and the health center workforce.
If you are a media representative and would like to learn more about the ACU, our work, or our perspective, please contact Rick Brown, Programs, Membership, and Communications Manager.
