The Community Health Association of Mountain/Plains States (CHAMPS) is a nonprofit membership organization that unites community, migrant, and homeless health centers across Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Founded in 1985, the association coordinates a mutual support network for primary care and related services aimed at underserved populations in the mountain and plains region. CHAMPS operates within the Hospitals and Health Care sector, providing a regional platform for member health centers to collaborate and share resources. The organization is based in Denver, Colorado, and serves a relatively small team, reflecting its role as an advocacy and coordination body rather than a direct service provider. A recent development involves ongoing support from HRSA under a cooperative agreement, highlighting its alignment with federal efforts to strengthen primary care in Region VIII.
