For one week out of every year, Northwest Health Services celebrates something that is VERY special to us: National Community Health Center Week. This year during the week of August 8-14, NHS will be celebrating who we are by sharing our time reaching out to hundreds of kids at back to school fairs.
Our outreach team will be traveling all over northwest Missouri to hand out information on our multiple services and locations, discount program, $10 sports physicals, school supplies and best of all, Frisbees. That’s right. We are handing out flying discs. What more could a kid want!?
So during this special week, please remember that we are celebrating who community health centers are:
- 1 of the 10 most effective government programs
- We provide affordable and quality healthcare to the communities we serve, regardless of one’s ability to pay.
- We accept Medicaid, Medicare, most private insurance and have a discount program for those who are uninsured or underinsured.
- We save the US healthcare system more than $17 billion a year by providing affordable, preventive healthcare to those who may rely on hospital emergency rooms as a source of care.
- We generate $12.6 billion in economic benefits for low-income, rural and inner city communities and create 143,400 jobs in America’s most economically challenged neighborhoods.
We are…Dedicated to Quality Healthcare, Available to All!
