Dear Friends of Premier,

We are entering an exciting season of growth at Premier Community HealthCare. Our team has officially kicked off the development of our 2026 - 2028 Strategic Plan, setting a clear vision for expanding access, advancing innovation, and strengthening community care over the next three years.

Currently, we have extended our hours at our New Port Richey, Dade City, and Zephyrhills locations, giving families more flexibility to get care on their schedule.

As summer approaches, we are also gearing up for the school physical season. Our pediatric teams are ready to ensure every child is healthy and prepared for the classroom. Pediatric care remains a cornerstone of our mission, and we are working proactively to meet demand before the back-to-school rush.

We continue our advocacy efforts to secure the future of community health centers like ours, ensuring funding, policy support, and a strong voice at every level. As always, I am proud of the work we are doing and the impact we are making. Thank you to all our Care Team Members, patients, volunteers, community partners, and financial supporters — thank you for being part of our mission. Together, we are building a healthier tomorrow. 

In partnership,

Joey Resnick, MHA, FACHE | Chief Executive Officer

Introducing Dr. Flossy, Premier’s Tooth Defender

We’re excited to introduce Dr. Flossy, the newest member of the Premier team!

"Owlivia", from the Early Learning Coalition of Pasco and Hernando Counties, recently visited and got a special surprise—meeting Dr. Flossy, our new dental health mascot.

Dr. Flossy is on a mission to make brushing fun, ease dental anxiety, and share tips for healthy teeth. Keep an eye out at upcoming events—you never know where Dr. Flossy might appear next.

Hudson Primary Academy recently hosted a heartwarming Muffins with Moms event sponsored by the Children's Home Society and the New Worlds Reading Parent Literacy Program. Over 100 parents and students enjoyed Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwiches and Costco muffins. Special thanks to Dr. Flossy for handing out oral health literacy kits!

Want to meet Dr. Flossy in person? Follow us on social media for event updates.

She truly cares for her patients. She is the absolute best — 10/10!!! I 100% recommend her to my family and friends and for those worried about wait times: I check in online through the link they text me. I arrive early, and I’m usually called back right on time or even a little early. Never had to wait more than a few minutes!" — L.L.
