Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges recognize Health Center Program awardees and look-alikes (LALs) that have achieved quality improvements in:

• Access
• Clinical Quality
• Health Outcomes
• Health Information Technology (HIT)

CHQR badges are awarded yearly based on the latest Uniform Data System (UDS) reporting year.

To earn a CHQR Badge, health centers must meet CHQR badge eligibility and the criteria outlined for each CHQR badge.
