Beatty Recognizes Importance of National Health Center Week
This week, from August 12th-18th, is National Health Center Week, celebrating our nation's health centers and recognizing their important role in providing care to countless American families. To mark the occasion, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement:
"Our community health centers are a vital component of America's healthcare system. Community health centers provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to underserved communities—regardless of one's ability to pay—while at the same time saving nearly $24 billion each year by reducing unnecessary hospitalizations or emergency room visits. With this in mind, I salute our community health centers and their staff for a job well done, and I will continue to fight in Congress for greater federal support."
