Philadelphians across the city can now get tested for COVID-19 in dozens of sites throughout Philadelphia. Many of these sites are Health Federation member FQHCs. With widespread testing now available, officials aren’t expecting any issues with capacity and patients showing symptoms and who fit the criteria can and should get tested and remain in isolation until they receive their results.
The National Health Corps is thrilled to announce the recipients of its 2019-2020 Service Award! The award was established this year in honor of AmeriCorps National Service Recognition Day to honor one member from each of the six NHC locations across the United States who exemplifies the AmeriCorps ethic of service and goes above and beyond to serve their communities. Awardees were nominated by fellow members or host site supervisors, and a review panel made final selections based on evidence of each nominee's strong ethic of service, efforts to go above and beyond their assigned responsibilities, and exceptional performance in NHC.
