As National Health Center Week comes to a close, we want to thank Iowa's community health centers.

Every day, CHCs provide affordable, comprehensive, community-driven care that strengthens families, supports communities, and improves health outcomes across our state.

Thank you to the providers, staff, board members, patients, partners, advocates, and supporters whose dedication makes this mission possible.

We are proud to celebrate and support Iowa's CHCs—not just this week, but all year long.

Patients make up more than half of every community health center board, helping shape decisions about services, priorities, and programs. This model ensures health centers remain responsive to the needs of the people and communities they serve.

On Patient Appreciation Day, we celebrate the patients whose voices, experiences, and leadership strengthen Iowa's health centers.
