WHEREAS, For more than 50 years, Community Health Centers have provided high-quality,
affordable, comprehensive primary and preventive health care in our nation's
underserved communities, delivering value to, and having a significant impact on
America's health care system; and
WHEREAS, as the country's largest primary care network, Community Health Centers are the
health care home for 30 million Americans in over 14,000 communities across the
nation. One in every twelve people in the United States gets their care in a
Community Health Center; and

serve as critical economic engines, helping to power local economies by generating

communities; and
WHEREAS, National Health Center Week offers the opportunity to celebrate America's over
1,400 health center organizations with over 12,000 service delivery sites, their
dedicated staff, board members, patients and all those responsible for their

than 50 years ago.
