The Mid-Atlantic Association of Community Health Centers (MACHC) is a 25-year old non-profit membership organization, whose members consist of community, migrant and homeless health centers, local non-profit and community-owned healthcare programs.

MACHC is the federally designated Primary Care Association for Delaware and Maryland health centers. Our members provide health care services to the medically underserved and uninsured in Maryland and Delaware. MACHC is built on helping our members in the delivery of accessible, affordable, cost effective and quality primary health care to those in need.

MACHC is the voice of communities in need and is dedicated to building and strengthening programs in the delivery of community-based health care to the medically underserved and underinsured. We seek partners who share our vision and look for opportunities that enable us to achieve our mission.
