text: Today kicks off National Community Health Center week. Around the country, communities will be highlighting the 1,200 health centers operating nearly 9,000 service delivery sites that provide care to approximately 21 million patients nationwide. Community health centers have a long history of providing quality care to the underserved in our region and help make the delivery of health care more efficient.  Tonight I will be recognizing the wonderful community health centers in our region at a reception hosted by the Capitol Health Network and HALO, Inc.
