NACHC & ScaleHealth Launch Accelerator Program to Scale Health Tech Solutions Across Community Heal

BETHESDA, Md. - EntSun -- Las Vegas, NV — The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), in partnership with ScaleHealth, today announces the launch of the NACHC 2026 Accelerator, a nine-month accelerator program designed to help Community Health Centers (CHCs) access, evaluate, and scale innovative technologies that reduce costs, improve patient experience, and enhance staff experience.

The announcement was made jointly from HLTH 2025—the premier health innovation conference in Las Vegas—and the NACHC Workforce Conference, the nation's leading gathering for CHC leaders who are advancing innovations in operations, finance, health information technology, and clinical services delivery.

As the nation's largest primary care system, CHCs serve at least 34 million patients and up to 52 million at over 17,000 locations across rural, urban, suburban, mountain, frontier, and island communities with a 330,000-strong workforce.

Identifying and scaling solutions to meet Community Health Centers' needs

The NACHC Accelerator is designed to find, support, and scale groundbreaking solutions that directly address the unique needs of CHCs and their patients. This program supports Series A–C companies and CHC-led teams with proven solutions that reduce costs, improve patient experience, and enhance staff satisfaction.
