National Health Center Week

Governors Sign Proclamations for Health Center Week

NH Governor John Lynch and VT Governor Jim Douglas publicly declared August 8-14 National Health Center Week. The Governors each presented signed proclamations stating "...nonprofit, community-based health centers remove common barriers to care by serving communities that confront financial, geographic, language, cultural, and other barriers; and are staffed by doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals who have chosen to serve in communities in need."

Community Health Centers play a significant role in the delivery of primary and preventive care in underserved communities. The proclamations also noted that "Community Health Centers help contain overall health care costs through comprehensive preventive and primary care health services and coordinate the delivery of care through outreach, patient education, and other enabling services."
