Community Voices is a W.K. Kellogg Foundation initiative aimed at effecting policy and changing systems to improve health care quality and access for the indigent and uninsured. Created in 1988, Community Voices is located in eight communities across the country and serve as "learning laboratories" in which community groups, health agencies, health care providers, and residents, have opened new dental and medical clinics for underserved clients; restructured county health departments to be more responsive to community needs; created new outreach efforts to encourage reluctant men to seek getting medical care; and influenced the expansion of state health insurance programs.

In 2004, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation established an independent national Community Voices program to manage the initiative and participate in communications and policy change activities. The foundation hired PolicyLink to document the policy implications of the national program, which is housed within the National Center for Primary Care, a research and educational center at the Morehouse College School of Medicine. The program has implications for placing other national multi-site community change initiatives at universities, particularly a Historically Black College or University with a strong commitment to service, such as Morehouse.
