On Thursday, August 11, 2022, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), commonly referred to as community health centers, across Northeast Ohio convened at the Ariel International Center to commemorate National Health Center Week (August 7-13). The weeklong observance helps to spotlight the important contributions of health centers in expanding access to health care to marginalized communities and for improving the health and future wellbeing of individuals living in Northeast Ohio.

The Ohio Department of Health has awarded grants to 26 community-based organizations, including United Way of Greater Cleveland, to support projects that aim to improve the health and lives of residents living in Ohio Health Improvement Zones. Better Health Partnership is excited to partner with United Way of Greater Cleveland and Burton, Bell, Carr Development, Inc. to support this project.

Better Health Partnership, Case Western Reserve University, First Year Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank are partnering to provide a single point of service delivery to food insecure pregnant individuals through Community Health Workers.
