"America's Health Centers: Home of America's Health Care Heroes" is the theme for National Health Center Week 2008. It recognizes the vital role of health center providers in achieving the success of the health center mission. From primary care physicians, to behavioral health specialists, to nurses and pharmacists, nearly 40,000 health care professionals serve on the front lines each day in health centers.
The Health Care Heroes of United Community Health Center provide service and care six days a week and provide a Medical Home to more than 3,700 patients. United Community Health Center is celebrating and recognizing National Health Center Week by providing a gift to all visitors to the Health Center during the week.
