It is National Health Center week! This week, we celebrate the incredible community health centers across Connecticut that provide high-quality, affordable, and accessible care for individuals and families.

Health centers play an essential role in supporting people with disabilities by offering inclusive healthcare, preventive services, behavioral health supports, care coordination, and connections to community resources. Their commitment helps ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their best health, regardless of ability, income, or insurance status.

Thank you to Connecticut's health center teams for the compassionate care, advocacy, and dedication you provide every day. Together, we can build healthier, more inclusive communities for all.
