The UnitedHealthcare Community and State Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Advisory Board serves as a council to provide input and guidance to UnitedHealthcare on the policy and practice issues and trends relevant to FQHCs and strengthen the conversation and collaboration between managed care and FQHCs to shape the future of health care delivery.

- Determine ways to use data to improve collaboration and overall health outcomes
- Identify clinical, financial, and operational opportunities and risks
- Develop policy recommendations for federal and state reforms that advance health equity, expand access, and improve outcomes
- Demonstrate the value FQHCs and managed care collaboratively bring to the health care system
