National Health Center Week was a Blast!
OACHC got to travel all over Ohio to visit our member's health centers during their National Health Center Week events! Our health centers had events such as ribbon cutting events for new locations, back to school fairs, health center tours and more! Many health centers even got visits from State and even Federal legislators! We are very excited about how enthusiastic everyone was about celebrating this great week!

Per tradition OACHC is sending out Health Center Hero Awards. These awards are given to nominees that are recognized as outstanding leaders and advocates working for local Community Health Centers. Click here to view all of the Ohio Health Center Heroes
OACHC created a new twist to the hero awards this year in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the health center movement! People were given the opportunity to vote between five finalists of the nominated heroes. The winner would be deemed "Ohio Health Center Super Hero"! The contest ended on August 15th and after great turnout from the voters we received a winner. Bev Giffford of HealthSource of Ohio, Inc. is to be presented the "Ohio Health Center Super Hero" award at this year's Fall Conference, September 28-30.
