“Reflecting on over 50 years with the Community Health Center movement in our country, I can say with confidence that we, along with some 1,400 like-minded organizations across the country, would not exist today were it not for tens of thousands of civic-minded volunteers who dedicated their time, talent, and passion to help assure a better life for tens of millions in our nation.”
Congratulations on 50 years of service, Family Health Center of Marshfield!
