National Health Center Week 2024: Empowering Communities Through Caring Connections

National Health Center Week is an annual celebration aimed at raising awareness about the vital role Community Health Centers (CHCs) play in the United States. This week-long event recognizes the contributions of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in providing high-quality, affordable healthcare to underserved populations. FQHCs like Mountain Community Health offer services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay, thereby bridging gaps in healthcare access, ensuring that community members receive necessary medical, dental, behavioral, and preventive care. This week-long observance brings attention to the dedicated efforts of health center staff, the resilience of patients, and the vital impact of CHCs in promoting public health and well-being.
