Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs). National Health Center Week is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of Community Health Center staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 30 million patients across 14,500 communities annually.
National Health Center Week took place from August 6th-12th with a theme of “The Roadmap To A Stronger America.” Sun River Health has been a part of communities throughout The Hudson Valley, New York City and Suffolk County since 1975, and we are proud to provide high-quality care, improve health outcomes, and narrow health disparities in these communities – helping to ensure stronger and healthier communities.
This year, Sun River Health hosted three National Health Center Week events on August 10th and 11th in Peekskill, The Bronx, and Patchogue and invited the community to join us to celebrate healthcare in their communities and learn more about services they can access. The events featured live music, bounce houses, vaccinations and screenings, petting zoos, food trucks, back to school backpacks, free books for children, information and resources for support services and so much more.
We were so excited to see so many community members come out for the festivities! We are grateful for our staff, patients, elected officials, partners, supporters, and donors for helping Sun River Health to host three wonderful successful events for the community.
