CHC is building a world class primary health care system, that is committed to caring for special populations, and that is focused on improving health outcomes for our patients as well as building healthy communities.
Since 1972, CHC has been one of the leading health-care providers in the state of Connecticut, providing comprehensive primary care services in medicine, dentistry, and behavioral health. CHC is available to all, but has a special commitment to the uninsured, underinsured, and special populations such as patients with HIV/AIDS. CHC is a statewide, independent, private non-profit organization. Last year, we provided high-quality medical, dental and behavioral health services to patients living in nearly every Connecticut city and town. With 100,000 active patients, CHC, Inc. is the health care home that works to keep our patients 'and our communities 'healthy. We incorporate prevention and health promotion, treatment of illness, and management of chronic disease 'often all during the same visit. But CHC goes beyond the traditional health services to bring care wherever you are, using innovative service delivery models and state of the art technology.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Community Health Center Of Bristol website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale.
When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
