National Health Center Week 2023 | August 6 -12

From Aug. 6 to 12, Fetter Health Care Network and community health centers (CHCs) across the nation come together to celebrate National Health Center Week. This annual awareness week is hosted by the National Association of Community Health Centers and the Health Center Advocacy Network and highlights the essential services, accomplishments and critical roles that American CHCs play in promoting health and wellness.

As cornerstones for care in their communities, CHCs serve patients from all walks of life in a collective mission to make quality, reliable care available to all, regardless of their ability to pay. Fetter is proud to be a link in this chain of compassionate support that is essential to so many. We invite you to join us in celebrating this vision of CHCs across the nation.

This year’s National Health Center Week theme, “Community Health Center – The Chemistry for Strong Communities,” highlights the building blocks of CHCs that help heal our diverse body of clients.
