At Community Health Centers (CHCs), patients aren’t just receiving care, they’re helping lead it.Patients make up over half of every CHC board, meaning major decisions about services, priorities, and programs are made by the people who rely on them most.This innovative model keeps health centers grounded in the real needs of their communities — and it works.On Patient Appreciation Day, we celebrate the voices, experiences, and leadership of the patients who power our mission.En los Centros de Salud, los pacientes no solo reciben atención, también ayudan a guiarla.Cada junta directiva de un centro tiene al menos un 51% de pacientes, lo que significa que las decisiones importantes sobre servicios, prioridades y programas las toman quienes más los necesitan.Este modelo innovador mantiene a los centros enfocados en las verdaderas necesidades de sus comunidades —y marca la diferencia.En el Día de Agradecimiento a los Pacientes, celebramos las voces, experiencias y liderazgo de los pacientes que impulsan nuestra misión.#NHCW26#ValueCHCs ...
