National Health Center Week (NHCW) 2023 was an incredible journey marked by the dedication and remarkable contributions of health centers across New York. This year's theme, "Community Health Centers: The Roadmap to a Stronger America," set the stage for a resounding success that resonated deeply with the spirit of community health.
Throughout the week-long celebration, we delved into crucial topics such as affordable housing, homelessness, and children's health. The passion displayed by our health center staff and their unwavering commitment to creating a positive impact on New York's communities were truly inspiring. As we advocated for healthier communities, the influence of health centers shone brightly, showcasing the power of unity in driving change.
The CHCANYS NHCW 2023 photo album stands as a testament to the stories shared, conversations ignited, and meaningful connections forged during this memorable event. It captures the essence of a collective effort aimed at making a tangible difference in communities across the state.
This year's NHCW gained national recognition, with the Biden Administration issuing a Proclamation on National Health Center Week, 2023. The New York State Department of Health also joined in by releasing a press release acknowledging the dedication and commitment of health centers to create healthier communities.
While National Health Center Week 2023 was an unforgettable celebration, its true essence lies in the lasting change it seeks to achieve. As we move forward, it's crucial to maintain the momentum. Reach out to elected officials, community partners, patients, and others who can help ensure that the conversations sparked during NHCW continue to drive positive transformations in our communities.
