In celebration of National Health Center Week, Accel Health was honored to welcome Giovanni Catanzaro, North Texas Deputy Regional Director for Senator Ted Cruz, to its newly remodeled Stephenville Clinic. This visit was a testament to the essential role that community health centers play in providing accessible, quality healthcare to underserved populations across Texas.
Joining Mr. Catanzaro on the tour were prominent figures in the health community, including Rachel Gonzales-Hanson from the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and Shelby Tracy from the Texas Association of Community Health Centers (TACHC). The delegation was warmly received by AccelHealth’s CEO, Esther Taylor alongside Board members Charlie Robitaille and Kathy Wellman, and Emily Brooks, Director of Compliance and Safety.
During the visit, the group engaged in meaningful discussions about the critical services that community health centers like AccelHealth provide, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
