President Joe Biden issues a proclamation on National Health Center week, which begins today.
The president stated, “Federally funded community health centers are a lifeline for over 30 million Americans nationwide — providing affordable access to quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services, which save lives.“
He continued, “Community health center sites are especially critical for people in Tribal, rural, and underserved communities because they are often the closest and most convenient sources of care.“
President Biden said, “During National Health Center Week, we recognize the importance of the nearly 1,400 federally funded community health centers that provide critical services to Americans. We express our gratitude to their dedicated staff, who tirelessly devote themselves to the well-being of their patients. And we recommit to ensuring that every American has access to good-quality, affordable health care.“

- For the president and his advisors as they promote federally funded community health centers.
