Celebrating National Health Center Week 2017

Fenway Health is excited to celebrate National Health Center Week 2017, which runs from August 13 to August 19. Started by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), this week is a time to both educate about the important work of community health centers and celebrate our vibrant communities through fun programming.

According to NACHC, community health centers serve over 25 million Americans at more than 9,000 delivery sites in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. territories. In the United States, one out of 15 people get their care at community health centers. Health centers, including Fenway Health, provide critical services to all people, regardless of their ability to pay or insurance status, making them anchors of their communities.

Here at Fenway Health, we have some exciting events planned at our 1340 Boylston St. main offices to mark National Health Center Week:

On Tuesday, August 15, we’ll be going live on the official Fenway Health Twitter account from 11:00 AM to noon to answer all your questions about Fenway Health. Tweet at us to learn more about our programs and services, history, research studies, and upcoming events – or just say hi!

Also on the 15th, Fenway Health staff will be leading guided public tours of 1340 Boylston St. If you’re interested in becoming a patient or just want to find out more about all we do at Fenway, please stop by for a tour.

On Wednesday, August 16, our Outreach staff will have an informational booth set up outside the Star Market on Boylston St. starting at 10:00 AM. We’ll be handing out information on Fenway’s programs and services, as well as fun giveaways.

Later that day, from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM, we’ll be handing out more giveaways right outside of 1340 Boylston St. We’ll be joined by Commonwealth Care Alliance, who will be offering information on their many available health plans.

We at Fenway Health hope you’ll join us next week for these fun National Health Center Week events. Thank you for being part of our community!
