National Health Center Week (8/2 - 8/8)

The Tennessee Department of Health joins community health centers across the state in celebrating National Health Center Week, through August 8th, 2026, recognizing the vital role community health centers play in providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare.

This year's national theme, Building Innovative Care Where It Matters Most, celebrates how community health centers develop innovative solutions that improve access to care, strengthen communities, and improve health outcomes.

Across Tennessee, community health centers and clinics work alongside local health departments partnering to ensure access to comprehensive healthcare services. Together, they provide primary medical care, preventive services, immunizations, dental care, behavioral health services, women's health services, chronic disease management, health screenings, and other essential healthcare resources that improve health and well-being.

The Tennessee Department of Health encourages Tennesseans to recognize the dedicated healthcare professionals serving in community health centers, clinics, and local health departments during National Health Center Week and to learn more about the healthcare services available in their communities.
