The CHC is part of a consortium of clinics dedicated to providing care to the Plain... Community, an otherwise underserved population. These clinics are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin and are predicated upon providing accessible and affordable care to a population that otherwise experiences barriers to healthcare.
