Fast FactsHealthReach Community Health Centers (HRCHC) has been a vital part of the health care delivery system in Central and Western Maine for 30 years. Through our system of 11 federally qualified Health Centers (see next page for listing), we provide comprehensive primary care services for the whole family to nearly 32,000 Maine residents each year — regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. We strive to be the provider, employer and healthcare partner of choice in each of the communities we serve. Great Family Health Care Our health care providers are trained in primary care medicine and are dedicated to meeting the needs of people of all ages living and working in rural communities. HRCHC providers treat the “whole person” — not just physical symptoms, and form partnerships with their patients, encouraging them to take an active role in their care. Affordable HRCHC’s services are available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. We bill all of the major insurance companies, Medicare and MaineCare. We also establish payment plans when needed. Through funding from the U.S. Bureau of Primary Health Care, we also offer an Affordable Care Program, based on income and family size. In addition, we partner with two hospital-based programs which enable our patients to obtain specialist care, hospital services, and medication assistance on an income-based scale. Close to Home We serve families in over 80 rural communities, primarily in Kennebec, Franklin, Oxford, Somerset, Lincoln, Sagadahoc and Androscoggin counties. More than 32,000 people chose us as their primary care provider in 2007, totaling over 103,000 visits. We work closely with four hospitals located in our service areas: Franklin Memorial Hospital (Farmington), MaineGeneral Medical Center (Augusta and Waterville), Redington-Fairview General Hospital (Skowhegan) and Stephens Memorial Hospital (Norway).
