National Association of Community Health Centers Annual Policy and Issues Forum
Washington, DC
"In 1965, two doctors named Jack Geiger and Count Gibson opened the first two neighborhood health centers with federal support in Boston and Mississippi.
And when a young Senator from Massachusetts saw what Jack and Count had created, he knew he had to spread this model across the nation. So in 1975, Ted Kennedy got Congress to enact legislation making the community health center program permanent, adding another achievement to a legacy that was crowned with the enactment of the Affordable Care Act just a few months after his death."
