Caring Health Center (CHC) is one of the premier health centers in Western Massachusetts, and for nearly 30 years it has served as an essential source of health care for residents of the greater Springfield area. CHC is the most culturally diverse and linguistically leading institution in the region. It is the leader in modeling employment equity based on being both women-led and having majority representation of people of color in our executive and overall leadership team. As an innovator, CHC has participated in federally funded research for over 21 years. In 1995, the time of its inception, CHC employed 20 and provided health care to 5,000 patients at a single site. Today, CHC employs over 250 and serves about 20,000 patients annually, providing affordable, quality, comprehensive medical care at three sites. In addition, the organization operates a state-of-the art pharmacy and WIC Nutrition Program, and serves as the largest Refugee Health Assessment provider in Massachusetts. CHC's on-site Wellness Center provides nutrition education, group physical exercise, and other services to support healthy and productive lives among patients. CHC’s team and Board of Directors ensure that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses their cultural, economic, and language needs, while its behavioral health specialists deliver services to address a wide range of emotional and other issues.
