National Health Center Week!

National Health Center Week!

National Health Center Week is an annual celebration during which Community Health Centers increase awareness of the health needs in communities and advocate for Community Health Center funding and policies. This year, National Health Center Week will be held from August 6-12 with the theme, “The Roadmap to a Stronger America”.

First Choice Community Healthcare serves as a beacon of strength, service, and care in our community. 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. National Health Center Week is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of our staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to our patients.
