Is National Health Center Week officially recognized?
In recent years, both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have unanimously passed resolutions calling upon the nation to celebrate National Health Center Week and recognize the contributions of Americas Health Centers. The President of the United States may issue a Presidential Proclamation as occurred in 2002 or issue a White House Message. In addition, Governors, Mayors and local governing bodies issue proclamations in tribute to the role of health centers in expanding access to affordable and quality care in their states and communities. Last year, at the request of State/Regional Primary Care Associations and their health centers, state governors in nearly 20 states across the country issued proclamations.
