Who We Are
Mission
Building healthy communities – one neighbor at a time – through patient-centered health care, regardless of income or current state of wellness.
Vision
Neighborhood Health Center’s patient-centered approach to health care honors the unique needs and circumstances of each individual patient. NHC sees people, not problems, and recognizes that the time spent as a patient in a doctor’s office is only one factor in a person’s overall health. Our leading edge, integrated clinical teams work in partnership with patients, their families, and the communities we serve to provide whole-person care, prevention, and ongoing support. As a result, NHC is our neighbors’ first choice for health and wellness.
