Celebrating Kentucky’s Health Centers: NHCW 2026
Celebrating Kentucky's Health Centers
Kentucky’s health centers are the foundation of healthier communities and a stronger healthcare system.
Through every service offered, health centers provide comprehensive and patient-centered care to the Commonwealth. KPCA is proud to support this statewide network by advancing access to high-quality healthcare. We are lucky to partner with so many clinics that serve their communities.
National Health Center Week is a time to celebrate the extraordinary impact they have and the dedicated professionals who make quality care accessible in every corner of the state. We proudly recognize the providers, staff, board members, and community partners whose commitment and compassion make this work possible.
Together, Kentucky’s health centers demonstrate the spirit of innovation in approaching complex challenges in the healthcare landscape. Consistently rising to the occasion, they are dedicated to their mission to expand access to care and build healthier communities.
