Community Voices: Healthcare for the Underserved
Launched by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and managed by the National Center for Primary Care at the Morehouse School of Medicine, Community Voices works to make health care available to everyone by helping ensure the survival of safety-net providers, strengthening community support services, advancing recommendations for change, and implementing solutions.

The Rising Tide: Words of Wisdom from the NHSC
If you look beyond your job and take stock of what you’re accomplishing in a larger sense, you will reap many more rewards. For example, serving people who otherwise wouldn't have access to health care and improving the health of the community around you. It's always more than just the job you are doing; appreciate what you are accomplishing.
