Programs & Services

The uninsured face many health risks. They battle problems of access, fragmented care, and a disjointed support system that can hinder diagnosis and treatment, especially of chronic diseases. It’s no surprise, then, that they have higher mortality rates than those with coverage.

At CommunityHealth, we’re working to reverse these trends by providing compassionate and continuous care to uninsured men, women and children. We offer free primary and specialty care, preventive health screenings, vaccinations, diagnostic testing and services, case management and educational programs.

The hallmark of our program is the medical appointment, which includes a physician’s examination, a diagnostic laboratory work-up and medications as needed. No fee is ever charged for these services. Clinic sessions are held Monday – Saturday, including four evenings.
