How we do it....
By building the strongest medical team possible and by adhering to the most current standards of practice through an evidenced-based approach to health care while removing the barriers that many people face in making health care truly accessible. We know that many of our patients face difficult social problems that affect their health. Our co-ordinated care provides patients with the services they need to get healthy and stay healthy.
Our History ....
The Health Center was founded in 1991 after a group of concerned citizens met in the kitchen of one of the present Board members to seek a resolution to the virtually complete absence of primary care services in Northern Washington County.
The original health center was located in rented space on the main street and had one medical provider, a nurse, and a receptionist. The volume of patients seeking care soon required expansion, however, and funds were eventually raised to build a new health center at the current location on Mill Street in 1998. There were only enough funds to complete the top floor of the two story building at that time, but the first floor space has been worked on over the past couple of years, and will be completed this year. We were able to add Mental Health and Substance Abuse services in 1993, and have plans to add Dental Health services in the near future.
We are fortunate to have an extremely dedicated and able Board of Directors, several of whom have remained on the Board since the health center's inception. They all reside in the community, many are health center patients, and their insight and judgment has ensured that the health center continues to grow at a steady and fiscally responsible rate.
