“It is vital to exemplify the important role our health centers play in our communities across Indianapolis, especially during National Health Center Week,” said Dawn Haut, M.D., CEO of Eskenazi Health Center. “This year’s theme, ‘Powering Communities through Caring Connections’ solidifies the high-quality primary care our providers and employees provide to not only our patients, but our community members.”

Every August, the National Association of Community Health Centers sponsors National Health Center Week to celebrate and increase awareness of America’s 1,400 Community Health Centers. National Health Center Week, occurring the first full week of August, is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of Community Health Center staff, board members and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive health care services to more than 31.5 million patients across nearly 15,000 communities annually.

Eskenazi Health Center locations offer a variety of services that include OB/GYN, mental health, primary care (pediatric, adolescent and adult), access to medical-legal partnership, a pharmacy, diabetes education, nutrition consultation and support, and women, infants and children services provided by the Marion County Public Health Department.
