Celebrating Community Health
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) – Health Community Health Centers wrapped up National Health Centers Week with a Children’s Health Day event.
Event Highlights
The event provided free school supplies, health checkups, bike helmets, and coupons to local businesses. Interim Executive Director of HCHC, Natalie Bass, emphasized that this week is all about helping the community, with the collaboration of various local organizations.
Community Collaboration
”The biggest thing really is just remembering that it takes all of us, whether we are a healthcare provider, a first responder, a supporting agency [or] a homeless shelter. It takes all of us to promote health, wellness, and safety in our community. None of us can do it alone,” Bass stated.
Looking Forward
Bass mentioned that this week is particularly busy for their team, filled with numerous events. However, everyone remains energized, as this event is considered their favorite part of the week. “It really is a fun way to celebrate our community, help our kids prepare for school, teach them, engage with them and help the community know who we are,” she added.
Future Events
Bass and the HCHC team are committed to ensuring that everyone in the community has access to the healthcare they need and are looking forward to hosting similar events in the future.
