Coopers Mills – Sheepscot Valley Health Center is holding a student supplies drive from August 5th through August 17th.
Patients coming in for well-child checks at the health center will be welcome to select from available donated school supplies.

The event is being held in celebration of National Health Center Week, which runs from August 12th - 18th. This year’s theme for National Health Center Week is “Celebrating America’s Health Centers: Home of America’s Healthcare Heroes.” One of the bright spots in America’s health care system, Community Health Centers serve more than 27 million Americans, a number that continues to grow along with the demand for affordable primary care.
