The mission of Community Health Center is to improve the health of our community through the provision of comprehensive, high-quality, compassionate health care to all, regardless of ability to pay. In 1998, CHC was founded as the Falmouth Free Clinic, an all-volunteer clinic caring for uninsured adults. Services were provided by volunteer physicians, nurses, counselors and lay people. The organization has evolved since then in response to the community's need for affordable, high quality, comprehensive services. Community Health Center cares for individuals within a "complete medical home" model, where multidisciplinary, integrated health services are provided under one roof to assist patients in overcoming affordability, financial, linguistic, cultural, transportation and other barriers to care. This complete medical home model includes primary care, behavioral health care, dental care, women's health services, optometry, substance use disorder services, on-site affordable prescriptions, x-ray and ultrasound services, case management services, barrier assessments and assistance, Veterans care, and many other specialized programs. Community Health Center serves all who need care regardless of ability to pay.

CHC has offices in Mashpee, Falmouth, North Falmouth, Bourne, Sandwich and Centerville, and cares for patients from all Cape towns, Martha's Vineyard, and other towns in Southeastern Massachusetts. To learn more about Community Health Center, please call (508) 477-7090 or visit CHCofCapeCod.org.

In 2023, Community Health Center will celebrate their 25th Anniversary of providing access to integrated care services to the community!
