Session Description: Every August, NACHC sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s nearly 1,500 Community Health Centers (CHCs). NHCW is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of Community Health Center staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to nearly 34 million patients across 17,000 communities annually. The creativity and dedication of health center staff, PCAs & HCCNs has allowed NHCW to grow each year, demonstrating the power of this weeklong event.

This interactive and participatory session will provide unique opportunities to engage in small group roundtable discussions with health center peers who are planning and implementing NHCW activities. In this session, several health centers and PCAs with robust NHCW events will provide a fresh perspective and offer ideas on how to make the most of staff time and resources to host successful NHCW events. Discussion topics will include: planning and funding activities; tips for engaging staff, board members, and community partners; communications best practices; advocacy and engaging with elected officials. It is never too early to start planning for NHCW!
