Brownsville Community Health Center Holds 
National Health Center Week
August 9 - 14

       One of the bright spots in America’s health care system, Community Health Centers are the family doctor to over 20 million people at 8,000 sites nationwide. Their critical role in providing quality primary care has been widely praised by bipartisan Congressional leaders and the last two Presidential Administrations. Health centers have also been in the public spotlight because now more than ever the uninsured and casualties of the economic recession are seeking their services. That is why funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act have made it possible for health centers to serve over two million patients, and over one million uninsured patients. And with health reform, the U.S. health care system will save up to $122 billion in total health care costs between 2011 and 2015 with the expansion of health centers. BCHC is proud to offer comprehensive primary health care to over 18,000 community members in Brownsville. We look forward to expanding our services in 2011 with the opening of a new 47,000 sq.ft. center.
