It is important that we deliver a strong message for America’s Health Centers. There are 44 million uninsured people in this nation and another 56 million who, although they may have health insurance, live in areas without doctors and basic health services.
We need to raise awareness of the needs that exist in our communities and the high costs of failure to provide primary care and preventive health. More people need to understand that ours is a tested and accountable model of health care has produced the markers to expanding access and providing the cost effective care that can improve health delivery. National Health Center Week is your chance to speak out for your health center and the people and communities who rely on its services for healthy and productive lives.
