Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs). This year’s theme is “Powering Communities Through Caring Connections”.
NHCW is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of the staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 31.5 million patients across nearly 15,000 communities annually.
New Horizon Family Health Services invites you to celebrate National Health Center Week with us as we host a series of events, mayoral proclamations, and celebrations at our sites and in the community!
