NACHC

National Health Center Week (NHCW) is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) aimed at raising awareness of the 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs) across the United States. Each August, NHCW highlights the dedicated efforts of health center staff and advocates who provide quality healthcare to over 31.5 million patients in nearly 15,000 communities. The 2024 theme, "Powering Communities Through Caring Connections," emphasizes the importance of empowering communities through engagement with healthcare resources and local officials.

Throughout the week, specific focus days draw attention to vital health issues, including public health in housing, healthcare for the homeless, agricultural worker health, and children's health. These events showcase the innovative work of CHCs in delivering comprehensive care and addressing health disparities. The initiative also fosters advocacy for equitable policies and sustainable funding, ensuring that Community Health Centers continue to serve as essential pillars of health and support within their communities. Join the movement to advocate for better health access and community well-being.
