Community Health & Wellness Center (CHWC) is committed to keeping communities healthy. In a compassionate, high-quality and patient-centered environment, services are accessible and provided without discrimination, with cultural competence, and where all people matter regardless of ability to pay. Through coalitions, advocacy and sound fiscal management, these services will be sustained over time.

Our Vision
CHWC will offer and continue to develop a range of healthcare services for the underserved throughout northwest Connecticut. It will achieve the reputation of provider of choice for affordable, high quality services that achieve positive patient outcomes. A welcoming and caring environment will be experienced by all patients and their families.

​An organizational culture will exist that attracts and retains skilled, dedicated employees. Sound fiscal management practices will ensure long-term viability. CHWC will collaborate and advocate with other organizations to increase the region’s capacity to meet health and wellness needs.
