Clinic celebrates Community Care Clinic Month with Children’s Health Day and month-long activities.Community Health Centers, like Health Partnership Clinic (HPC), provide innovative health service delivery to more than 30 million patients! At HPC, we serve more than 10,000 patients each year. August is Community Care Clinic Month, a time set aside to salute public servants (fire, police and civic leaders), patients, employees, volunteers, consumer board members and others. This year’s theme is Powering Communities through Caring Connections.

Our month-long activities are also a wonderful opportunity to spread the word about our clinic and the work we are accomplishing in the communities we serve. Our success hinges on our many relationships with partners, supporters, donors and community. Together, we are improving health and impacting lives.

For a list of all our August events, please view this PDF.

We will kick off the month on Friday, Aug. 2, where we will bring attention to children living in public housing. Dental kits, toothbrushes and floss are being donated to Mission Southside, a partner of ours.
