Tyler Care Clinic will kick off National Health Center Week, which happens Aug. 6 through 12, with an inaugural block party and open house.

The national week is a chance for health centers across the U.S. to highlight and celebrate the commitment and passion of staff, board members and community partners, according to Director of Communications and Public Relations Ashley Tompkins.

“Our goal is to let the community know that Tyler Care Clinic – Troup Highway offers quality, affordable and comprehensive healthcare for your entire family. From adult primary care to pediatrics, dental care for adults and children, behavioral health, vaccinations and more, we’ve got you covered,” she said. “You can stop by the block party and meet our team of providers and staff, tour our health center and learn more about how we can help your family.”

The event will include free health screenings and will have more than 20 organizations on hand to talk about local resources plus vendors, food trucks and more. Tyler Care Clinic – Troup Highway will be offering tours of the clinic and health center and attendees can enter for a chance to win free sports physicals and dental cleanings.

Tompkins said the event is a good way to connect neighbors with local resources while having a great time.

“We’re excited to connect our neighbors with so many great, local resources. We’ll have organizations from across East Texas that can help attendees sign up for different types of assistance and services,” she said. “We have a lot of fun things planned.”

“Stop by, say hello, grab some free swag and learn about resources available to you and check out local vendors who will have items for sale,” Tompkins said. “You can also grab a coffee, lunch or dessert from the food trucks that will be at the event.”

Tompkins said the clinic is proud to offer quality and affordable health care to the East Texas community.

“We believe in making healthcare accessible for everyone.
