Supporting your child's mental health just got easier! CHC offers child therapy & child psychiatric services and we're accepting new patients. If you're only looking for psychiatry and medication management, let your current child's therapist know we take outside referrals, and we don't have a waiting list - this means, your child can stay with their current therapist while our providers collaborate with them. CHC provides child therapy at each of our health centers, offers hybrid & virtual care therapy options and has a new Children's Behavioral Health Center on Water Street in Fitchburg, designed just for kids. Learn more about our services and become a new patient today. Sign-up online, call or come on into any of our health centers and ask for a new patient packet. Our friendly front office staff can set-up your first appointment. CHC also offers hybrid and virtual telehealth options. https://chcfhc.org/Behavioral-Health-Services

Dental Update! No more ooey gooey dental molds! At Community Health Connections, www.chcfhc.org/dental we are committed to providing our patients with the highest standard of care. We are thrilled to announce the integration of CEREC digital scanning into our dental services at each one of our health centers - a move that significantly elevates the patient experience. This dental technology allows for high-precision digital impressions, which are then processed by our skilled technicians at our two dedicated dental labs located at our Leominster and Fitchburg community health centers.
Why this matters for our patients:

No more weeks of waiting: Because we have our own dental labs, we’ve eliminated the long wait times typical of traditional dental work.

Same-day/Next-day service: In most cases, patients can receive their permanent crowns within the same day or the very next day.

No messy molds: Digital scanning replaces the uncomfortable "gooey" putty impressions of the past.

Seamless care: By streamlining the workflow between our clinics and our labs, we provide a faster, more comfortable, and highly accurate restoration.

We’re proud to lead the way in accessible, high-tech community healthcare. Your smile shouldn't have to wait!
