Tax Collector Mike Fasano has been presented with Premier Community Health Care’s 2024 Public Service Award “in recognition for your passion, unconditional commitment and enduring service to the health of our community.”
“Premier Community Health Care has long been an important program to me during my legislative and tax collection career,” comments Tax Collector Mike Fasano. “The hard work they do to help the uninsured and underinsured residents of our community is unparalleled. I am truly honored and humbled to be recognized with this award. More importantly I am proud to be a part of an organization that provides great leadership in making health care accessible to people most in need.”
Premier Community Health Care was first formed by a group of concerned Pasco residents in 1978 who wanted to provide services to residents of the Trilby community in East Pasco. Over the next four-plus decades it grew into a county-wide program that helps the neediest residents receive primary health care that would otherwise be unavailable to them. Premier Community Health Care currently has 250 health care professionals on staff who have served over 36,000 patients.
