HONESDALE, PA — The Wayne County Commissioners presented the Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC) with a proclamation declaring August 2-8 as National Health Center Week.

During the presentation, the commissioners credited WMCHC for “closing gaps and taking down barriers to care.”

Nicole Hartung, WMCHC’s value-based-care manager, said that across all of its sites, the community health centers provide care to more than 57,000 patients annually, which included 1,880 receiving integrated behavioral health services and over 3,000 Medicare annual wellness visits. She announced WMCHC’s newest service, a mobile school-based health center, will be launched this fall with Wallenpaupack School District as its first partner.

WMCHC is a federally qualified health center encompassing over 20 sites offering primary care, women’s health, pediatrics, behavioral health, walk-in care, dental and podiatry services. WMCHC also maintains a rural-track family medicine residency program. For more information, visit www.wmchc.net.
