On Saturday August 9, over 600 people attended Apicha Community Health Center’s Health Fair in Jackson Heights to celebrate National Health Center Week 2025. Apicha’s healthcare team screened 100+ participants for blood pressure, Body Mass Index (BMI), oral health screenings; families learned about healthy eating options from their pediatrician and Apicha helped people enroll in health insurance and food assistance (SNAP).

The annual event highlighted the essential role that Community Health Centers (CHCs) like Apicha play in improving public health and providing Americans equal opportunity to access critical healthcare services. CHCs are the nation’s largest primary care network, serving 32.5 million patients nationwide.

Apicha’s theme for the event was Compassionate Heath Care for All.
