Neighborhood Health Earns National Recognition for Quality of Care

Neighborhood Health has been recognized by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) with multiple 2026 Clinical Quality Awards, highlighting the organization’s commitment to providing exceptional, patient-centered care.

Neighborhood Health received National Quality Leader recognition in both Cancer Screening and Heart Health, as well as an Overall Silver Quality Award, placing the organization among the top 20% of health centers nationwide for clinical quality measures.

The Cancer Screening award is especially noteworthy. Neighborhood Health is the only Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Virginia and one of only 65 health centers nationwide—out of more than 1,300—to receive this prestigious recognition.

These awards reflect the dedication of Neighborhood Health’s providers, nurses, care teams, quality staff, and support personnel who work together every day to ensure patients receive high-quality, evidence-based care.

“Our teams set ambitious quality goals, and these awards are a testament to the incredible commitment of our staff to improving the health of our patients and community,” said Martha Welman, MD, FAAP, Chief Medical Officer of Neighborhood Health.

At Neighborhood Health, quality means more than meeting benchmarks. It means helping patients stay healthy through preventive care, early detection, chronic disease management, and coordinated services that remove barriers to care. From cancer screenings and heart health to primary care, dental, behavioral health, pediatrics, and pharmacy services, Neighborhood Health is committed to delivering comprehensive care that helps individuals and families thrive.

As Neighborhood Health celebrates National Health Center Week, these awards serve as a reminder of the important role community health centers play in improving health outcomes and expanding access to care for everyone.

Neighborhood Health is proud of this national recognition and grateful to every employee whose dedication made these achievements possible.
