Beatty Recognizes Importance of National Health Center Week

This week, from August 4th-10th, our nation recognizes National Health Center Week by 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, with over 1,400 organizations serving 28 million patients each year. By efficient, cost-effective care, community health centers generate $24 billion in savings annually and expand healthcare access to critically underserved communities. For that, I salute our community health centers, health professionals, and their staff for a job well done, and I will continue to fight in Congress to defend them from painful cuts."
