The National Center for Frontier Communities (NCFC) is a research and advocacy organization focused on improving health and quality of life in frontier areas of the United States. Based in Silver City, New Mexico, it was founded in 1997 and acts as a central point of contact for referrals, information exchange, and networking among geographically dispersed frontier communities, aiming to elevate awareness of frontier issues among policy makers, agencies, and the public. NCFC serves as a bridge between frontier communities and broader policy discussions, offering a voice for people and programs in these areas and collaborating with partners to advance projects that address frontier health and welfare challenges. Its activities position it within the public policy sector, with a mission to connect stakeholders, share information, and support initiatives that benefit rural and remote populations.
