Community healthcare is at the forefront of the constantly changing healthcare picture of our country. The Affordable Care Act has placed more focus on the role of the CHCs and as more people join the ranks of the government-insured, Community Health Centers will become the medical home to many new patients and the opportunities for healthcare providers to play a role will continue to show abundant growth.Community healthcare may not be for every person, but it may be for you. It has its challenges and its frustrations and there are days when no one says “thank you” and patients do not realize how hard you have worked for them. But, there are days when you leave work with a sense of fulfillment knowing that you have helped at least one person with some aspect of their life that day, and those are the moments that make CHC work worth it. I challenge you to explore opportunities in community health because what we do really does make a difference.
If you are a dedicated, caring person with an eye on the future of healthcare, WE WANT YOU!
Thanks so much for spending the month with me! I look forward to hearing about all the wonderful experiences of other CHC providers in the future.
