National Community Health Center Week resolution would recognize the first week of August 2026 as “National Community Health Center Week.” It expresses the Senate's support for the designation, encourages people across the United States to visit their local community health center during that week, and celebrates the partnership between community health centers and the communities they serve. As a simple resolution, it does not create law, authorize funding, or impose any requirements.

The resolution primarily concerns community health centers and the patients and communities they serve, whom it recognizes and celebrates. It does not establish any binding rights, obligations, or effects for other individuals, businesses, or government agencies.

Sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), S.Res. 843 was introduced in the Senate on August 7, 2026, and on the same day was submitted, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by unanimous consent. Because it is a simple resolution, this action completes its legislative process — it does not go to the House or the President, and no further steps are expected.
