Peak Vista celebrates National Health Center Week

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)-- For the week of Aug. 6, Peak Vista Community Health Centers (Peak Vista) will be celebrating National Health Center Week (NHCW). 

NHCW is an annual event that honors the mission and life-saving work of more than 1400 community health centers across the country.
