Massachusetts Community

Health Centers

Good health.

Right around

the corner.

Massachusetts¡¯ 50 community health

centers are conveniently located in

communities throughout the state and

offer a wide range of high quality primary

and preventive health services ¡ª all in

one place.

Community health centers undergo

rigorous on-site accreditation visits and

regularly exceed national quality and

performance standards. Board-certified

physicians are trained in a range of primary care specialties, including internal,

pediatric and family medicine, as well as

gynecology and obstetrics. Additionally,

health center physicians have longstanding relationships with well-known

academic medical centers and can help

their patients access hospital-based

specialists when needed.

Patients can also make appointments

with dentists and optometrists as well

as talk to a mental health counselor,

nutritionist or nurse health educator.

Many also have on-site pharmacies,

mammography and other screening

services as well as urgent care centers

which can serve patients more quickly

if they are sick. Importantly, patients

living with chronic conditions such as

diabetes, asthma, cancer, addiction or

depression, have access to nationallyrecognized programs that can help them

better manage their illnesses.
