When we're short of time or it's an overly busy day, cooking and preparing food is the last thing we may have time for.

Preparing healthy snacks ahead of time and stocking the pantry and fridge with healthy foods beforehand is the easiest way to avoid grabbing unhealthy and overly processed snacks!

July is Nutrition Month!

For a lot of us it's a rush to get around in the morning, but starting our days with a breakfast that's balanced with both protein and carbs can give us the energy that it takes to get us through the day, and to hold us over until our next meal!

Follow along throughout the month for more Nutrition tips and facts!

Our Story

Our health centers are located in both St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties (Malone, Canton, Gouverneur, and Watertown). Our new location in Ogdensburg at 102 Ford Street is now open as well and accepting new patients. By providing quality healthcare to all residents of Northern New York regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, our team is the safety net for our North Country Communities.

Services vary by site but generally include: primary, pediatric, behavioral, dental, optometry, and preventative care to persons of all ages. Case management, care coordination, WIC, health home care management, along with insurance enrollment assistance are also available. Substance abuse challenges? We have a new program to help you and your family with those challenges as well.

New patients are being accepted at all locations. Appointments are preferred, but slots for walk-in and same day visits are generally available.

While accepting most insurances, Community Health Centers are also designated as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) offering a sliding fee scale to those individuals and families that are uninsured and/or medically under-served. The sliding fee scale is based on patients' family size and income level. Our team has been serving families across the North Country for over 40 years. Visit chcnorthcountry.org for further details.
