This resolution expresses official Senate support for designating the first week of August 2026 as "National Community Health Center Week." It formally recognizes and honors the staff, board members, patients, and supporters of community health centers for their contributions to healthcare in the United States. Additionally, it encourages members of the public to participate in the week by visiting their local community health centers and celebrating their role in local communities.

This resolution does not involve any federal spending, appropriations, taxes, or fees, nor does it alter funding levels for community health centers.

* **Non-binding:** The resolution carries no legal authority and imposes no legal obligations on individuals, agencies, or organizations. * **No mandates:** Participating in National Community Health Center Week or visiting local health centers is completely voluntary for the public and health facilities.

This is a symbolic Senate resolution that recognizes the importance of community health centers and supports naming the first week of August 2026 "National Community Health Center Week," without changing any laws or spending any money.
