"It's very complex to take care of elderly people with all of the medications that are available, and all of the symptoms that show up. ACHC is right on it.

“There’s a lot of people here from different walks of life, and it’s good knowing you can get good health care for your children so that one of their everyday basic needs is taken care of.

"I think it's great that the hospitals help Health Center patients. They sent me to a doctor to work on my eyes, and he was responsible for my laser surgery.

Forever more, that doctor and the Health Center are in my heart to have saved my eyes."-Thelma
“People can come here whoever they are, and however they get here, whatever the barriers, whatever the struggles.”-Betty

“I think the Health Center is important to the community because there are a lot of people out here who need this. I think it’s really important for people to have access to healthcare that’s economical for them.”-Genia
