Increasing Access to Quality Health Care in Communities Nationwide
Community Health Centers (CHC) are critical in helping low-income and uninsured families live healthier lives and build strong communities. One in 15 people rely on CHCs for their comprehensive medical, oral, mental health, and substance abuse services, so it is easy to understand their impact.
Our mission is to deliver both the capital and commitment to foster facilities and innovations that increase access to health care services. We are the leading non-profit community health center lender in the country, and work with a variety of partners to create programs that improve health outcomes for those most in need.
Our Health Care Solutions
Capital Impact Partners has three decades of practical experience working across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to create strategic financing and invest in the necessary infrastructure to increase access to high-quality health care and improve health outcomes through community health centers. In California alone, we are responsible for financing more than 50% of health centers and clinics across the state. We have also launched a national effort with AARP to help CHCs better serve our aging population.
Capacity Building
In partnership with The California Endowment and others, we are helping to expand the efforts of smaller health centers demonstrating innovative practices.
Health Center Financing
We provide health center loans for acquisition, construction, equipment purchasing, and working capital from $1 million to more than $5 million, with ability to facilitate larger loans through special programs.
Convening Leaders
With support from policy makers, cities, and key partners, we bring industry leaders together to support policy change and spread innovative practices that support communities.

Benefits of Community Health Centers
Critical Safety Net
CHCs serve as the medical, dental, mental health, substance abuse, and special services lifeline for more than 22 million people nationally — a number that continues to rise each year. Especially in areas where access to quality care is limited, CHCs provide a valuable safety net.
Improving Access
Enables Community Development Entities to attract private sector investment capital that finances businesses and real estate projects in low-income communities.
Innovative Care
Studies show that CHCs’ focus on an ‘integrated care’ model improves quality of care, promotes better health and lower costs while creating thousands of jobs, spurring economic development. This focus on whole person well-being places the patient’s needs first.

Stories of Impact
Our work happens across the country, but it’s the individual stories of change — how people’s lives are improved as their communities thrive — that fuel our mission. We serve those making change happen in big and small ways each and every day.
