Huge congratulations to Sunrise Community Health for being recognized by the National Association of Community Health Centers as the 2021 Outstanding Migrant Health Center! #CoCHCs #ValueCHCsSunrise Community Health was recognized as the 2021 Outstanding Migrant Health Center Award from the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC). Sunrise is humbled to receive this recognition, and we thank NACHC for celebrating this vitally important service Community Health Centers provide across the U.S. – one that is foundational to the community health center movement. Sunrise was selected for the award from among the nearly 1,400 Community and Migrant Health Centers operating nationwide. Outreach Team members Daniel Hernandez and Velen Gomez were present with Mitzi Moran to receive the award at the 2021 Virtual Conference for Agricultural Worker Health. “We are proud of our Sunrise Cesar Chavez Outreach Program,” notes Mitzi Moran, “They serve with grace and compassion, honoring and celebrating our patients - with dogged determinedness and little fanfare - and they never hesitate to say, ‘What’s needed? We can do that.’”
It is an honor and privilege to support the health of migrant and seasonal farmworkers - and it is an honor and privilege to be recognized for this service.
