Community Supported Healthcare

​

Community Supported Healthcare (CSH) is a new and cost effective way to deliver primary health care. Members of the community pay a monthly or yearly fee to their primary care physician for a package of services. Regular payments upfront reduce overhead and allow the physician to concentrate on delivering care to you and our community.  It allows families to budget their medical expenses and know that they will not have unexpected charges for routine primary/urgent care.
