Health centers are part of the fabric of their communities and the opportunities to reach out to other community organizations and patient populations are essential in ensuring the success of programs that assist women with preconception care needs. As policymakers and public health planners consider options for improving the utilization of preconception care, enhancing health centers is one important way to increase access to preconception care and women's health services to low-income and uninsured women. Their comprehensive, prevention- and community-oriented approach is the ideal setting for the delivery of preconception care to traditionally at-risk women. In addition, health centers augment the effectiveness of care that patients receive by integrating social and enabling services into primary care delivery. Investment in health centers that allows them to maintain their current capacity and expand into new service areas will increase their reach to more underserved women in need of preconception care as well as general preventive services.
