As we wrap up National Health Center Week, we celebrate the vital role community health centers play in strengthening Mobile County. Family Health, Accordia/AltaPointe, Mostellar Medical Center, Franklin Primary Medical Center, and our many valued local partners provide an essential safety net — helping individuals and families access affordable, quality health care close to home.

Access to care remains a challenge for many in our community. Community Health Centers rise to meet that need every day, delivering compassionate, comprehensive care and helping build a healthier Mobile County for all.

Thank you,
Dr. Kevin Michaels
Health Officer for Mobile County
