Accordia Health Marks National Health Center Week with Expansion Push

Throughout the week of August 3-9, the organization is opening its doors to elected officials and community partners to demonstrate the breadth of services available at its facilities. These site visits serve as a platform to showcase the impact of the center’s primary care, behavioral health, and dental services on local health outcomes. CEO Tuerk Schlesinger emphasized that the week functions as both a tribute to existing partnerships and a call to raise awareness regarding the necessity of accessible, quality care close to home.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, the organization continues to bridge the gap for uninsured residents through a sliding fee discount program. The past year has seen a deliberate push to widen that reach, marked by the opening of new clinic locations and the recruitment of additional medical providers. This strategy aligns with the broader national movement, which now serves more than 32 million Americans annually by removing traditional barriers to medical treatment.
