About National Health Center Week

2023 Theme Coming Soon!

National Health Center Week (August 6 – 12) is an annual celebration with the goal of raising awareness about the mission and accomplishments of America’s health centers over the past five decades.

Community Health Centers serve as the 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. Let’s come together this week to celebrate the roles Community Health Centers have played in both our recent moments of loss and triumph. This National Health Center Week is a virtual road trip across the US, highlighting the achievements and amazing work being done in each state and territory. It’s a week for us to take pride in our states/territories and communities, as well as “visiting” our friends across the map to get to know each other.

Each day of NHCW 2023 is dedicated to a particular focus area:

  • Sunday, 8/6: Public Health in Housing Day 
  • Monday, 8/7: Healthcare for the Homeless Day
  • Tuesday, 8/8: Agricultural Worker Health Day
  • Wednesday, 8/9: Patient Appreciation Day
  • Thursday, 8/10: Stakeholder Appreciation Day
  • Friday, 8/11: Health Center Staff Appreciation Day
  • Saturday, 8/12: Children’s Health Day

We encourage you to consider coordinating your celebrations around the corresponding dates and focus days to showcase the innovative ways that health centers are providing high-quality health care, improving health outcomes, and narrowing health disparities. Your events do not have to coincide exactly with the focus of respective days – much like the NHCW theme, focus days are available to enhance your events and help provide structure at your discretion. Coordinating local efforts around the themes of the focus days helps maximize the national impact of our message.
