It’s Community Health Center Week!
Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs). CHCs serve as a beacon of strength and care in their communities and are a vital source of health care services in areas that may have few resources.
Hampshire County residents are lucky to have Hilltown Community Health Centers in our region. The HCHC clinics in Amherst, Huntington and Worthington, along with a school-based site in Huntington, have been providing high-quality health care services to the community for more than 70 years. Each year our dedicated staff serve over 8,000 patients with 36,000 visits from 150 zip codes.
This year’s National Health Center Week theme focuses on empowering communities by connecting them with health centers. At HCHC, we are committed to delivering patient centered, culturally responsive healthcare to all members of our community regardless of ability to pay
Celebrate the uniqueness of your community and get to know those dedicated to lasting partnerships!
One Story at a Time
Finding Support When It Was Needed Most
When news stories about potential Medicaid cuts began circulating, one patient became anxious about whether she would lose her health coverage. Unsure where to turn, she reached out to Hilltown Community Health Center for help.
Health Access Navigator Buliah Mae Thomas took the time to answer her questions, review her coverage, and help her understand her options. As they talked, it became clear that the patient was also facing challenges beyond insurance. Community Health Worker Carolina Kenny stepped in to connect her with resources and support to address those barriers. By working together, Buliah Mae and Carolina helped turn fear and uncertainty into reassurance and a clear path forward. The patient left knowing her coverage was secure and that she had a team ready to support her every step of the way.
