Today's focus for National Health Center Week is: Healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. Did you know Community Health Centers (CHCs) serve over 1.3 million patients who experience homelessness every year? Those facing homelessness are at heightened risk for chronic and acute diseases, behavioral health conditions, and more, which can lead to poor health outcomes, disabilities, and premature death. Our dedicated member CHCs, like Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, are at the forefront, providing essential care, support, and dignity to those in need. Today serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that accessible, compassionate healthcare can have in breaking the cycle of homelessness. #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs #CoCHCs
