Today is Monday, August 8, and we are celebrating National Health Center Week.

National Health Center Week began yesterday. Health centers are one of the largest health care providers in the country. The first health center was launched in 1965 and was created to improve the lives and well-being of Americans and provide high-quality affordable, accessible, and value-based primary health care services.

This week, we take time to recognize the importance these health centers play in our communities. Discover Census Bureau data on health centers.
