National Health Center Week at Via Care

National Health Center Week at Via Care

Date: 8/12/2024

Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of Americaโ€™s 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs). National Health Center Week is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of Community Health Center staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 31.5 million patients across nearly 15,000 communities annually.

This year Via Care went ALL OUT in raising awareness surrounding community health centers and showing our patients, staff, stakeholders and the community how much we LOVE THEM!

On Wednesday, August 7th, Via Care celebrated Patient Appreciation Day by giving a gift to every single patient that visited a Via Care clinic that day! This was just a little opportunity for our team to share with their patients how much they appreciate them and thank them for trusting us with their healthcare.

On Thursday, August 8th, Via Care hosted a free Health Fair for the community at our Cesar Chavez Health Center in East L.A.  In addition to hosting representatives from NACHC, the California Primary Care Association (CPCA), and the Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County (CCALAC), we offered free healthcare services, back-to-school goodies, and community services to our patients and neighbors. We were also joined by many of our loyal community partner organizations. Thanks to everyone who made this day possible!

Via Care's Health Fair

Friday, August 9th was all about our staff. Thank you staff for all the hard work, dedication, and compassion you bring to the job every day. Every one of you plays a vital role in our mission of providing quality, accessible healthcare to those who need it most. We celebrated with a fun pizza party for lunch at every site!

We closed off the week with Childrenโ€™s Health Day on Saturday, August 10th. We took this time to celebrate our pediatric dental patients by gifting them each with a special toy. Look out for more information soon regarding our coming pediatric dental program!

Finally, we just want to thank every staff member, patient, community member, partner, and stakeholder who made this week a celebration of all the good things community health centers bring to our local communities. We are proud of the work we do every day and love celebrating the difference we make.
