 Celebrating America's Health CentersPosted August 11, 2014 By Mary K. Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N., Administrator, Health Resources and Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services In celebration of National Health Center Week we take great pride in recognizing the critical role health centers play in assuring more accessible, affordable, quality health care services to millions of people. For more than 45 years, Americans have turned to their local Community Health Centers for vital health care services that help them lead healthy productive lives. And today, 21.7 million patients receive health care services from the nearly 1,300 health centers operating more than 9,200 primary care sites across the nation. For each of these individuals, and those who will turn to health centers for care in the future, the Affordable Care Act has helped to break down barriers so that people can get access to the right care when they need it. The health care law supports the establishment of additional health center sites to provide expanded opportunities for the newly insured to receive care. Since its enactment, more than $6.7 billion Affordable Care Act funds have been awarded to health centers to offer a broader array of primary care services, extend their hours of operations, hire more providers, and renovate or build new clinical spaces.
