NHFHS Earns Recognition as an Advocacy Center of Excellence


New Horizon Family Health Services (NHFHS) is proud to announce that we have been recognized as an Advocacy Center of Excellence (ACE) by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC).
 
This distinguished designation highlights our organization’s commitment to fostering a strong culture of advocacy - ensuring that the voices of our patients, providers, and communities are heard by policymakers at every level of government. As an ACE, NHFHS joins a select group of Community Health Centers nationwide that prioritize advocacy as a core part of their mission and daily operations. As healthcare needs evolve and federal and state priorities shift, advocacy plays a critical role in protecting and expanding access to these essential services.
 
Through this designation, NHFHS reaffirms our commitment to working alongside national partners like NACHC and SCPHCA to advance policies that strengthen health centers and improve health outcomes for the communities we serve.
 
Being named an Advocacy Center of Excellence reflects our ongoing dedication to ensuring that our patients and communities have a voice in the decisions that impact their health and well-being. We are honored to receive this recognition and remain committed to championing access to quality, equitable care for all.

U.S. Representative William Timmons and State Representative Patrick Haddon Visit NHFHS

As we countdown to the opening of our newest medical office in Berea (8000 White Horse Road), NHFHS was honored to host two of our legislators in February for a tour of the new facility. The approx. 5,500 square foot facility will feature six exam rooms, laboratory, immunization area, and a drive-thru pharmacy. Patients will have access to our complete array of medical services, delivered by compassionate medical providers and support staff - including medical interpreters and Spanish language liaisons.
 
We are grateful for continued bipartisan support of community health center priorities, initiatives, and funding. We thank U.S. Representative William Timmons and State Representative Patrick Haddon for making time to visit to meet with us.
 
The NHFHS Berea office is scheduled to open on Monday, May 11, 2026.
