What Is<\/em> National Health Center Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

National Health Center Week (NHCW) is an annual celebration of all the health centers across the United States with the goal of raising awareness about the mission and accomplishments of America\u2019s health centers over the past five decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community health centers like HealthCore Clinic serve as beacons of strength, service, and care in our communities. In moments of pain and loss, community health centers offer support and love. In moments of triumph, they offer hope and a vision for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HealthCore Clinic, patients are more actively engaged in improving their health through a team-based approach. We use responsive preventative services, including research-based initiatives that will allow patients access to premier medical advances. Our integrated care approach means that our clients have convenient, affordable access to improve their whole health and wellness\u2014with medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services all under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This National Health Center Week honors the front-line providers, staff, and beloved patients who lost their lives during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. From the very beginning of the crisis, Community Health Centers began finding innovative ways to provide preventative and primary care to their patients. At HealthCore Clinic, we teamed up locally with GraceMed Health Clinic<\/a>, Hunter Health Clinic<\/a>, and Guadalupe Clinic<\/a> to create a safety net system to ensure no one was left behind. We provided hundreds of free COVID-19 tests at multiple sites, offered antibody testing, created a respiratory clinic, launched telehealth services, and now offer free COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this week of remembrance, we ask you to light a candle or practice a moment of silence to honor those community health leaders and patients who were lost across America. As we commemorate those lives and celebrate the future of Community Health, let\u2019s shine a light across the country that will embody the future of primary health care for underserved populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
