Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses House support for designating the first week of August as "National Community Health Center Week" and encourages Americans to visit their local community health centers to celebrate their role in the healthcare system. The resolution highlights that over 1,500 community health centers serve 52 million Americans across the country, with one in seven people nationally and one in three people in rural areas relying on them for care. Community health centers are described as critical providers that offer comprehensive primary care including behavioral health, dental, vision, and pharmacy services, often serving as the only accessible healthcare option in their communities. The resolution notes these centers support over 809,000 jobs and generate approximately $262 billion in economic activity while helping address chronic diseases, the opioid crisis, and healthcare access barriers. This is a non-binding resolution that contains no funding or implementation requirements, serving primarily as a symbolic acknowledgment of the importance of community health centers to the American healthcare system.
