Mission & Strategy

Capital Link Connects Health Centers and Capital Resources to Build Healthy Communities

Capital Link is a national, non-profit organization that has worked with hundreds of health centers and Primary Care Associations over the past 15 years to plan capital projects, finance growth and identify ways to improve performance. Established through the community health center movement, Capital Link is dedicated to strengthening and expanding high-quality, community based healthcare in a rapidly changing marketplace.

Capital Link provides an extensive range of services to health centers and Primary Care Associations.

We assist non-profit Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and similar organizations by providing:

  • Industry vision and leadership in the development of capitalization strategies for facilities and operational expansion.
  • Metrics and analytical services for measuring health center impact, evaluating financial and operating trends and promoting performance improvement
  • Direct assistance to health centers and complementary nonprofits in planning for and financing operational growth and capital needs

Working nationally out of five offices allows us to address individual health center capital project needs more readily. Additionally, Capital Link receives funding support through a National Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Consequently, Capital Link is able to provide some assistance to health centers without charge or at subsidized rates.

Capital Link also works in partnership with the National Association of Community Health Centers and with state-based Primary Care Associations across the country to help identify, plan for and meet the capital needs associated with the growth of the FQHC system at the state and federal levels.

As a key provider of health center data and metrics related to financial capacity and capital needs, Capital Link developed and manages the largest database of health center audited financial statements in the country.
