Introduced

Summary

This resolution would designate the first week of August as National Community Health Center Week to recognize community health centers as the country’s largest primary care network and their role expanding access to affordable, comprehensive preventive care. It notes that more than 1,500 centers serve 52 million people across 17,000 communities, reach 1 in 7 Americans and 1 in 3 in rural areas, integrate services like behavioral health, dental, vision and pharmacy, and operate nearly 4,500 school-based sites and 1,200 mobile units. The resolution highlights outcomes and economic impact, citing about $262 billion in economic activity, 809,000 jobs, over 10 million cancer screenings in 2024, and control rates of 67 percent for hypertension and 72 percent for diabetes, and it urges Americans to visit and honor local centers.
