Celebrate National Health Center Week with NYU Lutheran
Even as more Americans have health insurance coverage these days, a serious healthcare problem persists nationwide: a shortage of places to get the primary and preventive care services that everyone needs.
A key part of the solution lies in our nation’s community health centers, which have provided quality, affordable care for the past five decades, and are increasingly becoming the go-to medical home for growing numbers of working Americans.
Today, there are more than 1,300 health centers serving more than 23 million Americans, including about seven million children and 260,000 veterans in more than 9,200 communities across the country.
