Patients and quality recognition
Short answer: Operation Samahan reported 15,037 patients to HRSA for 2025, about three-quarters of them with household incomes at or below the federal poverty level.[1] In 2026 HRSA gave it five Community Health Quality Recognition badges: Health Center Quality Leader (Silver), National Quality Leader in Heart Health and in Behavioral Health, Improving Health Care Access, and Advancing Health Information Technology for Quality.[2]
How many patients does Operation Samahan serve?
HRSA requires every Health Center Program awardee to report patient, service, staffing, cost and revenue data each calendar year through the Uniform Data System (UDS).[3] For 2025, Operation Samahan reported 15,037 patients: 1,870 aged 17 or younger and 13,167 adults.[1]
Other figures are in circulation: Operation Samahan’s donation page says its work “impacts over 15,000 individuals”, consistent with the 2025 UDS count,[4][1] while an undated Alliance Healthcare Foundation profile says it serves “more than 20,000 patients a year”.[5] The UDS figure is the official reported count for 2025.
What are patients’ incomes?
| Household income, % of federal poverty guidelines (2025) | Patients |
|---|---|
| 100% and below | 11,174 |
| 101–150% | 1,385 |
| 151–200% | 779 |
| Over 200% | 798 |
| Unknown | 901 |
| Total | 15,037 |
That is about 74% of patients at or below the poverty level (calculated by this wiki).[1] Insurance coverage is shown on Insurance and payment.
What quality recognitions has HRSA given it?
HRSA awards Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges each year based on health centers’ UDS data; the 2026 badges reflect the 2025 reporting period.[6] HRSA’s badge file records these badges for Operation Samahan:[2]
| Year | Badges |
|---|---|
| 2021 | Advancing HIT for Quality |
| 2022 | Advancing HIT for Quality |
| 2023 | Advancing HIT for Quality; Health Center Quality Leader – Bronze; Improving Health Care Access |
| 2024 | Advancing HIT for Quality; Health Center Quality Leader – Silver |
| 2025 | Advancing HIT for Quality; Health Center Quality Leader – Silver; High-Value; National Quality Leader – Behavioral Health; National Quality Leader – Heart Health |
| 2026 | Advancing HIT for Quality; Health Center Quality Leader – Silver; Improving Health Care Access; National Quality Leader – Behavioral Health; National Quality Leader – Heart Health |
Operation Samahan’s own awards page describes the Silver badge as placing it among the top 20% of health centers nationwide for clinical quality.[7]
What does Operation Samahan claim that is not verified here?
Its awards page says it earned six recognitions in 2026: the five HRSA badges above, which HRSA’s data confirms, and one from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).[7][2] This wiki has not verified an NCQA recognition in NCQA’s own records, so it is not stated as fact here.
