As we have grown over more than 16 years, HWC has changed and shifted to better meet the needs of patients and community members within our service areas. As part of this continued growth, during last year’s Fall Strategic Planning Meeting with the HWC Board of Directors and Leadership, a decision was made to collectively shift focus to perfecting the many resources and services currently offered within the HWC network. To further this endeavor, a new mission statement, vision, and company values were created.
HWC will be a national model of excellence in providing all-inclusive care for people of all ages.
Since the nation’s first health centers opened in 1965, expansion of the Federally Qualified Health

barriers such as cost, lack of insurance, distance, and language for their patients. In doing so, health
centers provide substantial benefits to the country and its health care system.
