Community Healthcare Network

This year, amidst shifting policies and mixed signals at the federal level, one truth remains: CHN's underlying mission has not changed. Black History Month has always been a time for education, celebration, and reaffirming our commitment to fairness and justice, and this year has been no different. CHN remains steadfast in its commitment to eliminating health disparities and ensuring equitable access to healthcare for all. While national conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion continue to evolve, CHN stands firm in the belief that our strength lies in our diversity and unwavering dedication to serving our communities with compassion and cultural responsiveness. As we move forward, let’s carry the spirit of Black History Month beyond February as we continue to advocate for justice, representation, and access to care for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #HealthcareForAll #HealthJustice

Ninety-nine years ago, Carter G. Woodson launched a week long celebration to highlight Black life, culture, and history. Over time, it grew into #BlackHistoryMonth, a powerful recognition of the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans. Black history is American history. Community Healthcare Network honors trailblazers and leaders who have shaped past and ongoing contributions, including healthcare pioneers who have contributed to the field of medicine and public health. We remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing community health, addressing disparities, and ensuring access to quality care for all.  Join us in honoring the past, celebrating the present, and shaping a healthier future for all. #AdvancingCommunityHealth #BlackLeaders #Trailblazers

Last Thursday, Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez led a rally at CHN's Williamsburg Health Center to stop cuts to federal funding for community health centers. Dr. Bryan Tolentino, our Director of Infectious Disease and LGBTQ+ Health, spoke at the event, highlighting the comprehensive services CHN provides in our communities. "Federal funding is critical in ensuring these services remain accessible to those who need them most. Without it, too many are left behind, unable to access vital treatments, preventive care, and the support that allows them to thrive." — Dr. Bryan Tolentino Special thanks to the Williamsburg staff, CHN's Regional Director Marielena Torres, VP of Clinical Operations Marlene K. S., VP of Development Christine Rutkoski, and Manager of Policy and External Affairs Erin Verrier for organizing this important event. #CommunityHealth #HealthEquity #CHN
