Renovations Complete at Child Health Services at MCHC
|
|
|
|
We are excited to announce that the renovations at Child Health Services at MCHC are complete!
Pediatric providers, the pediatric behavioral health team, special medical programs, and case managers now have improved offices.
The renovated space and new equipment serves many of MCHC's 6,500 pediatric patients. Families and staff are excited to have pediatric services return to the CHS facility and are enjoying the remodeled space.
Renovations would not have been possible without funding from
Cogswell Benevolent Trust
, the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation, and generous donations from individual donors. Thank you!

Final Push for Health Insurance Open Enrollment
|
|
Manchester Community Health Center has been spreading the word and assisting people to sign up for health insurance during this year's health insurance open enrollment from November 1 - December 15.
MCHC hosted Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, along with local partners on December 11, to encourage all NH residents in need of health insurance or currently enrolled in a marketplace plan to review the new plans for 2018 and sign up before the December 15th deadline.
MCHC also hosted a open enrollment fair in November. The fair was open to the public and marketplace navigators and certified application counselors provided free assistance to attendees. At the event 20 families were able to review their health insurance options and enroll in coverage for 2018.
