National Health Center Week is a time to celebrate the vital role health centers like ours play in building healthier communities across the Dakotas. 

This year’s theme, From Community Roots to a Healthier Tomorrow, is more than a message — it’s our mission. From humble beginnings to trusted pillars of care, community health centers now serve over 30 million people nationwide, including thousands right here in our region. 

Join us in recognizing the lasting impact of health centers on patients, families, and entire communities.

Health centers are powered by people — and ours are nothing short of extraordinary. 💙 

Our medical providers, nurses, care coordinators, outreach teams, front desk staff, maintenance crew, and administrators all play a role in creating a welcoming, safe place where people can get the care they deserve. 

They come from this community. They care deeply about this community. And every day, they put heart, skill, and compassion into their work to ensure a healthier tomorrow for everyone who walks through our doors. Thank you to our incredible team! 

Our patients are the heart of everything we do! 

Health centers were built from the ground up — by communities, for communities — to make sure no one is left out of the care they need. Whether it’s a parent bringing their child in for their first checkup, a senior managing their diabetes, or a young adult receiving mental health support, each person’s story is part of ours. 

We are honored to care for you, to grow with you, and to be your trusted health partner. Thank you for choosing us. You inspire us every single day.

Health isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s exactly why we’re here. 

From chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes to preventive screenings, reproductive care, and mental health services, health centers are rooted in comprehensive, whole-person care. We meet people where they are, provide culturally responsive services, and work to break down every barrier to wellness. 

This week, we’re honoring the impact of community health centers in treating complex needs with dignity, compassion, and consistency — planting the seeds for lifelong health and healing.

Everyone deserves a place where they feel seen, respected, and cared for. 

At our health center, we’re honored to care for the many people who make up our community — from agricultural workers to refugee families, veterans to youth, people living unhoused to rural seniors. 

We believe in health care without judgment or limits. Because when care grows from the roots of the community itself, it reaches everyone — no matter their story. 

Together, we’re building a tomorrow where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

Today we honor our incredible partners: local organizations, schools, food pantries, housing agencies, hospitals, funders, and advocates who work alongside us to make our mission possible. 

Your support expands our reach, strengthens our roots, and helps us go further for our patients. Together, we are planting the seeds of change and shaping a healthier tomorrow.

As we wrap up National Health Center Week, we’re filled with deep gratitude — and even deeper hope. 

Gratitude for every patient who has shared their story.
Gratitude for every staff member who shows up with care and compassion.
Gratitude for every partner who believes in community health. 

But most of all, we’re inspired by what’s ahead. With strong roots in our community, we’re growing toward a future where health care reaches more people, breaks down barriers, and truly meets the needs of all.
