National Health Center Week recognizes the community health centers providing essential care across the United States.
The latest HRSA data shows the scale of that work. In 2025, Health Center Program awardees reported more than six million patients diagnosed with hypertension and nearly 3.5 million diagnosed with diabetes.
While 98% of health centers used telemedicine, fewer than one in three of those centers reported using remote patient monitoring.
RPM can build on the foundations created by telemedicine, providing ongoing physiologic data between visits and helping care teams identify changes earlier and manage chronic conditions over time.
🔵 The opportunity is not simply to adopt another technology. It is to integrate between-visit monitoring into a sustainable model of care that gives clinical teams meaningful data, supports earlier intervention and extends the trusted work of community health centers into patients’ homes.

Thank you to the clinicians, staff, community health workers and leaders who keep care accessible, local and responsive to the communities they serve!
