National Health Center Week (NHCW)
2026-08-02 - 2026-08-08
Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) sponsors National Health Center Week (NHCW) to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s 1,512 Community Health Centers (CHCs). NHCW is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of CHC patients, staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to 52 million*1 patients across more than 17,000 communities.
NHCW 2026 Theme: Building Innovative Care Where It Matters Most
This year’s theme celebrates how CHCs use creativity and commitment to advance innovative solutions that meet patients where they are and improve primary care delivery, access, and outcomes nationwide. This includes partnering with key stakeholders and elected officials to strengthen relationships that support high-quality, patient-centered care in the communities they serve.

Each day of National Health Center Week is dedicated to a particular focus area:

Sunday, August 2: Theme Day
Monday, August 3: Staff Appreciation Day
Tuesday, August 4: Patient Appreciation Day
Wednesday, August 5: Health Conditions Focus
Thursday, August 6: Populations Day
Friday, August 7: Partner Appreciation Day
Saturday, August 8: Gratitude and Future Vision

Aligning NHCW celebrations and local activities with these focus areas helps amplify the national impact of the collective CHC message. Focus days are suggested as a flexible guide — activities don’t have to happen on these exact dates.

Coffee Connections
2026-09-24 11:00 - 13:00
Shaping the Future of Aging & Cognitive Health: Aligning Care, Community, and Partnerships
This Coffee Connections session will bring together health systems, community-based organizations, and academic partners to explore what caring for our aging population looks like in Orange County.
While aging is a broad and complex topic, this conversation will focus more specifically on cognitive and brain health, prevention, and continuity of care—key areas that shape how older adults remain healthy, independent, and supported in their communities.
Participants will explore what aging in place requires in practice, including access to local resources , affordability, and coordinated systems of support. The conversation will lift up what is working locally, where gaps remain, and how to strengthen collaboration across sectors to better support older adults without working in silos.
The session will also explore how community and social systems can better support individuals and families in taking action earlier and more effectively, and will create space for cross-sector and intergenerational perspectives on how we support aging well in our community. Lastly, the session will touch on the role of research- particularly the importance of including diverse populations in research and ensuring that insights are translated into real-world practice to improve care and outcomes.
Participants will leave with practical ideas, local insights, and opportunities for connection to support ongoing work across Orange County.
