Celebrating National Health Center Week August 4-10:
Honoring Access, Equity, and Community Care
This week, we join healthcare professionals across the country in recognizing National Health Center Week—a time to honor the vital role community health centers play in delivering accessible, high-quality care to millions of Americans. For those of you in the perinatal and labor & delivery space, it’s a meaningful reminder of the impact your centers have in supporting expectant mothers, promoting maternal health equity, and ensuring healthier outcomes for moms and babies—especially in underserved communities. Let’s take this opportunity to spotlight the partnerships, innovations, and compassionate care that define your industry’s mission.
