“Health centers around the nation are gearing up for National Health Center Week by planning a special event,” said Annie Neasman, RN, MS, president/CEO of the Jessie Trice Community Health Center. “Given that social media contests are all the rave right now, we decided to jump on the bandwagon and enhance our “We Know” brand to reflect “Health is Wealth” during National Health Center Week.”

National Health Center Week is designed to commemorate the importance of Health Centers and give supporters an opportunity to speak out for their health center; and the people and communities who rely on its services for healthy and productive lives.
