Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s nearly 1,500 Community Health Centers (CHCs). National Health Center Week is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of Community Health Center staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 32.5 million patients across nearly 16,000 communities annually.
NHCW 2025 Theme: Celebrating 60 Years of Progress
Join Us in celebrating 60 Years of Improving Our Nation’s Health.
Community Health Centers serve as a beacon of strength, service, and care in their communities. In moments of pain and loss, they offer support and love. In moments of triumph, they offer hope and a vision for the future. This year’s National Health Center Week theme focuses on empowering communities by connecting them with health centers and elected officials from all levels of government. Celebrate the uniqueness of your community and get to know those dedicated to lasting partnerships!
Each day of National Health Center Week is dedicated to a particular focus area:
- Sunday, August 3: Theme Day: Celebrating 60 Years of Progress
- Monday, August 4: Staff Appreciation Day
- Tuesday, August 5: Patient Appreciation Day
- Wednesday, August 6: Health Conditions Focus
- Thursday, August 7: Populations Day
- Friday, August 8: Partner Appreciation Day
- Saturday, August 9: Gratitude and Future Vision
Coordinating National Health Center Week celebrations around the corresponding focus days showcase the innovative ways Community Health Centers provide high-quality care, improve health outcomes, and narrow challenges in their communities. Health centers do not have to coincide exactly with respective dates. The focus days serve as a framework to enhance activities. Coordinating local efforts around these themes helps maximize the national impact of the collective health center message.
