In our latest #NACHCTV episode, Amy Simmons Farber, NACHC’s VP of Communications & PR, sits down with Dr. Linda Thomas-Hemak, President & CEO of The Wright Center for Community Health and a 2025 NACHC Lifetime Achievement Award honoree. Dr. Thomas-Hemak shares her remarkable journey from first-generation physician to nationally recognized primary care innovator, reflecting on how “divine serendipity” guided her back to her hometown community and into the health center movement, where she says she “found her tribe.” For more than 25 years, she has championed whole-person, community-rooted care; pioneered innovative Teaching Health Center models; and helped build a strong primary care workforce dedicated to serving multi-generational families. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Thomas-Hemak describes why Community Health Centers are “invaluable American jewels,” how they serve as a moral compass amid the corporatization of healthcare, and why strong primary care platforms are essential to ensuring patients and families get the care they deserve. 🔗 Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/eS8juC4x #ValueCHCs #PrimaryCare #NACHCTV
