Community Health Centres

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are local healthcare facilities that provide comprehensive medical services to underserved populations. They focus on primary care, preventive services, and often include dental and mental health services. CHCs aim to improve health outcomes by offering affordable care regardless of a person’s ability to pay, often operating with a sliding fee scale based on income. They not only address individual health needs but also work on broader community health issues, promoting wellness and connecting patients with resources. Essentially, CHCs are vital in ensuring that everyone has access to essential healthcare services in their own neighborhoods.
