It’s officially Community Health Center Week in Maine!

We’re proud to join Governor Mills and other Maine Health Centers in recognizing the incredible impact of Maine’s Community Health Centers — 60 years strong and still leading the way in access, equity, and compassionate care.

Thank you to every staff member, board member, and supporter who makes this mission possible. We’re honored to be part of this movement. 💙

It's National Health Center Week, and for 60 years, Maine's Community Health Centers have been working to ensure the health and well-being of everyone who walks through their doors.

From August 3–9, PCHC invites you to join us in honoring National Health Center Week (NHCW) 2025 — a time to recognize and celebrate the powerful impact of America’s nearly 1,500 Community Health Centers (CHCs), which serve more than 32.5 million people each year.

This year’s 60th anniversary celebration is more than a milestone—it’s a tribute to the countless stories of healing, hope, and humanity made possible by the tireless dedication of health center staff, board members, and community supporters.
As we reflect on six decades of progress and impact, we also look ahead to a future where health centers continue to lead the way in innovation, access, and equity. PCHC’s commitment to serving our community remains unwavering, and we’re excited for the next chapter — one that deepens our relationships, expands our reach, and continues to break down barriers to care.

💙 Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to 60 years strong—and many more to come.
