New Hampshire - Senators, congressional delegations, governors, state legislators, state agency directors, medical directors, medical and dental society leaders, CEOs, board members, business leaders, health center patients, and community members attended a wide variety of events that took place at Community Health Centers August 8-14 in New Hampshire.
Hundreds of people turned out over the course of the week for open house public tours of health centers, groundbreaking events, a 5K road race, press conferences, free medical screenings, health education seminars, farmers markets, and numerous other events hosted by Community Health Centers. National Health Center Week draws attention to the primary and preventive health care services available through Community Health Centers locally and nationwide.
NH Governor John Lynch declared August 8-14 National Health Center Week with an official Governor’s Proclamation presented to Bi-State Primary Care Association and NH Community Health Centers at the State House on August 10. The proclamation noted that NH’s "nonprofit, community-based health centers remove common barriers to care by serving communities that confront financial, geographic, language, cultural, and other barriers.”
