Community Health Center

Founded in Middletown, Connecticut, in 1972, Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC), is one of the nation's oldest and largest Federally Qualified Health Centers. Today, CHC operates primary care facilities in seven towns and cities in central and southeastern Connecticut that target uninsured, low-income, minority, and working poor families. A range of programs supports medical, dental, and mental health service provision – the core clinical services at CHC.

HIV-related services, including prevention education, outreach, counseling and testing, and HIV primary care, are offered at all service sites. The Oasis Center, a drop-in wellness program in Middletown, also offers support and services for persons living with HIV.

With funding from CMHS/SAMHSA, CHC has expanded its clinic-based and community/home-based mental health services program for persons living with HIV/AIDS. The agency's services include psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluation and treatment, medication consultation/management, and intensive case management. The program targets African American and Hispanic/Latino(a) clients residing in the Middletown, Meriden, and New Britain communities.
