National Health Center Week (NHCW) is an annual celebration that highlights the significant role of health centers in providing comprehensive and culturally sensitive healthcare services to millions of Americans. For 2024, NHCW will take place from August 4 to August 10. Health centers, also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), serve as vital healthcare providers for underserved communities, offering primary care, dental services, mental health support, and preventive services regardless of patients' ability to pay. The theme for NHCW 2024 is "Community Health Centers: The Key to Healthier Communities." This theme emphasizes the integral role of health centers in fostering healthy communities through their patient-centered care models, community outreach programs, and emphasis on preventive care.

Access to Healthcare for All

Fostering relationships with specialists, organizations, and people who refer patients to your health center is a great way to increase the number of new patients you see. Here are some excellent referral sources to whom you can start educating about your services, reciprocate the referral, and show your appreciation regularly. 🔹 Specialty providers: Like primary care providers, dental and behavioral health providers refer to specialists; specialists can also refer people to your providers. Run a report from your EHR to see who is referring patients to you and send them a token of your appreciation. Or, see who is not currently referring patients to you and ask to give their staff a presentation on the health center's services. 🔸 Church leaders: Church leaders often try to find healthcare services for their members. Bring them lunch and tell them about your services and how you serve people in their communities. 🌟 Human service organizations: Ask to be included on the staff meeting agenda at your local domestic violence shelter, public housing authority, job service, and transitional living facilities, and tell them about your services. Of course, stand behind your word anytime you promote your services to people who are referring you. If you promise they can be seen within a week, ensure that is true. If you tell them you can see new patients, ensure you have enough providers. Want to learn all my proven strategies for attracting 1,000 new patients to your health center year after year?
