National Health Center Week #NHCW2026
 "Building Innovative Care Where It Matters Most"
The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHCs) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and raise awareness about the work of the 1,500 Community Health Centers (CHCs) across the country. These centers provide quality, comprehensive health care to over 52 million patients in 17,000 communities, according to NACHO.

This year's theme, “Building Innovative Care Where It Matters Most,” celebrates the innovative ways in which community health centers like PHC are meeting patients where they are.  On Thursday July 30, PHC will release a media advisory prior to its official social media roll-out on Sunday, August 2nd.  Additionally, the focus will be on patient appreciation, staff appreciation, and a health screening partnership with the American Cancer Society.
