Bi-State Primary Care Association (Bi-State) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that represents Community Health Centers and safety-net providers serving over 344,600 patients at 175 locations throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. Bi-State’s 26 members include Community Health Centers, the Community Health Access Network, North Country Health Consortium, the NH Area Health Education Center, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, and Vermont’s Free and Referral Clinics. Bi-State promotes access to quality, affordable primary health care with an emphasis on reaching communities with a scarcity of providers and services.

Bi-State was founded as a 501(c)3 charitable organization in 1986 with offices in Bow, New Hampshire, and Montpelier, Vermont, and holds a cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) to provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) to safety-net providers. This T/TA is based on statewide and regional needs to help health centers improve programmatic, clinical, and financial performance and operations. Under this cooperative agreement, Bi-State supports health centers with strategic growth planning and recruiting and retaining their health care workforce. For more information on the role of Primary Care Associations, please visit the BPHC website: https://bphc.hrsa.gov/. Bi-State also operates the NH/VT Recruitment Center.

Bi-State’s website is supported by HRSA and other funding sources.
