August marks Community Care Clinic Month, a time to recognize the vital role Community Health Centers play in delivering high-quality, affordable care across the nation. Clinics like Health Partnership Clinic (HPC) provide innovative, patient-centered health services to more than 30 million Americans annually. At HPC, we’re proud to serve more than 11,000 patients each year—and this month, we’re celebrating 60 years of community health centers making a powerful impact on the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Throughout August, HPC will honor our patients, dedicated staff and volunteers, board members, public servants, and community partners through a series of meaningful events and outreach activities. These celebrations are not only a time to reflect on our achievements but also a chance to strengthen awareness about the critical work we do and the partnerships that make it all possible. Together, we are improving health and transforming lives.
