Bill > HRes641

This resolution recognizes and supports community health centers (CHCs), which are healthcare facilities providing comprehensive primary and preventive care in rural and underserved communities since 1965. The resolution highlights that CHCs serve nearly 10% of Americans across 14,000 communities nationwide, with a particular focus on providing patient-directed care to vulnerable populations including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and veterans. The resolution specifically supports recognizing CHCs during National Health Center Week (August 3-9, 2025), encourages Americans to visit their local community health center, and supports extending the Community Health Center Fund, which provides 70% of federal funding for these centers. The resolution emphasizes the critical role of CHCs in reducing healthcare costs, managing chronic conditions, overcoming barriers to healthcare access, and providing integrated services beyond primary care, such as oral health, vision, behavioral health, and pharmacy services. By celebrating these healthcare facilities, the resolution underscores their importance in shaping the past, present, and future of America's healthcare system.
