National Health Center
Week (August 8-14)
National Health
Center Week is an annual celebration led by the National
Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) to raise awareness about the
mission and accomplishments of America’s health centers over the past five
decades. From
the very beginning of the pandemic crisis, Community Health Centers began
finding innovative ways to provide preventative and primary care to their
patients. They provide low-cost prenatal care, general primary care, COVID-19
screening and testing, and referrals to specialized care, including mental
health, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS. This
year’s theme, “The Chemistry for Strong Communities,” will honor front-line
providers, staff, and patients who have lost their lives during the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic. During
the observance week, commemorate their lives and celebrate the future of
community health by participating in the following dedicated focus
days:
