Supporting community-based health care organizations drives OCHIN’s mission, with our Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) serving as a cornerstone of our consultative approach to health care transformation.

The OCHIN network has joined an elite group of Epic users worldwide by reaching the Gold Stars Level 10 designation in Epic configuration, setting a new benchmark in electronic health record excellence.

As OCHIN continues to celebrate our 25th anniversary alongside our national member network and partners, we’re honored to reflect on the important work of the nation’s community health centers during National Health Center Week.

Seven community health organizations in four states went live on OCHIN Epic during the second quarter of 2025.

A team of researchers from OCHIN partnered with the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research and the University of California, San Francisco, to study how electronic health record (EHR) tools might help providers in community-based clinics adapt care plans to address health drivers.

OCHIN members and partners from across the country gathered in Nashville this April for the annual OCHIN Learning Forum, celebrating a significant milestone: 25 years of innovation, collaboration and impact across the OCHIN network.

Five health centers and two rural hospitals went live on OCHIN Epic during the first quarter of 2025, including OCHIN’s first Epic member in South Dakota.

An OCHIN partnered-study investigated the pathways connecting non-clinical drivers of health outcomes with a lower likelihood of receiving clinically indicated cancer screening services among community health center patients.
