Health system highlights include 209 community health fairs, 848 flu shots given, 63 pneumonia shots, reduced patient time per visit from over two hours to less than one hour, saw 19,233 patients and treated over 1,100 seniors among other things.

It’s about – you. Whether you have the ability to pay for services or not has no bearing on the compassionate, personal, professional services you will receive when you visit one of our health centers.”
