The PHMC Health Network's five nurse-managed, Federally Qualified Health Centers play a critical role in assisting underserved communities, particularly public housing populations and individuals experiencing homelessness, by providing high-quality, patient-centered primary care including an array of services – substance use disorder treatment, behavioral health, dental, trauma, pediatric and social services. Here is a comprehensive list of services.
Patients can call 855.887.9229 to schedule an in-person or a telehealth visit.
Most insurance plans are accepted, including Medicare and Medicaid. We see all patients regardless of their ability to pay.
