Testimonials

I want to thank PCHC's Outreach specialist, Julio Nieves, for giving up his Saturday to come out to our event and share the PCHC Family Health Information Recording System (HIRS). It was really great and families told me they were happy to receive this medical record keeping document. Thank you again!
