Res. 289. a resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Health Center Week. From August 713. numerous organizations will collectively promote quality and preventative medical care through local health centers. It has become increasingly apparent that our healthcare system is not only lacking. but also failing those it is meant to serve. There are currently an estimated 45 million uninsured individuals living in America. This group not only includes 8.4 million children. but also homeless and migrant populations across the country. Of those that do have health coverage. studies have estimated that as many as 65 million individuals remain underinsured. Countless others lack easy and affordable access to quality care providers.
