\u201cWhen families face uncertainty, especially during the holidays, community health centers have a responsibility to step in\u2014not just as care providers, but as community pillars,\u201d JPAFHC Chief Executive Officer Renee Hastick-Motes, MPA, said. \u201cGobble for Good Health represents who we are at our core, a trusted resource, a source of stability and a place where no family feels unseen or unsupported.\u201d<\/p>\n
