Patient Services

kidsNeed a doctor? Find help now

Are you feeling ill or hurt? Do you need annual physical? Does your child need a vaccination? Whether you are insured or uninsured, Colorado Community Health Centers (CHC) help people across the state get the care they need when they need it.

What conditions do CHCs treat?

CHCs provide primary and preventative care. That means CHCs offer a full range of medical, dental, and behavioral health services. This includes diagnosing and treating illness, routine check-ups, vaccinations and screening tests, regular oral health check-ups, and counseling to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

What if I need a doctor who sees me more than once a year?

Care teams at CHCs aim to build lifelong relationships with patients. They take the time to get to know you, and they coordinate your care with specialists. If they don’t have the test or treatment you need, they know where to refer you.

What if I’m pregnant?

CHCs welcome pregnant mothers and newborns. Directly or through partners, CHCs offer a full range of prenatal care to help you have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

What if I don’t have health insurance?

CHCs are affordable and accessible. We don’t turn people away because of their ability to pay. Insured or uninsured, young or old, every patient is welcome. We also offer free or low-cost medications and supplies.

When are CHCs open?

CHCs make it easy. Most CHCs have flexible scheduling. Some are open late and on weekends.

Do you speak Spanish?

Almost all CHCs have staff fluent in Spanish and offer translation services for anyone who speaks a language other than English.

Community Health Center patients can also use insurance including Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program), Child Health Plan Plus, insurance from an employer, or purchased from Connect for Health Colorado or OmniSalud.

Community Health Centers have teams of enrollment specialists, who help patients sign up for the health insurance they are eligible for. If you need help understanding and applying for health insurance, reach out a CHC near you.
