Our Services
BCHS is proud to offer a wide range of services to our patients and community. Not only do we provide primary care services, we also provide mental health care and counseling, women's health, HIV holistic and preventative care, Hepatitis C evaluation and treatment, community resources, and connection to speciality care.
Our Model
BCHS is recognized as a Community Health Center (CHC) by the Human Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Through this model of healthcare, we are able to provide services that are both high quality and affordable by offering a Sliding Fee Scale that evaluates the cost of a visit based on family size and household income to any patient who wishes to apply.
Further, we are invested in the long term care of our patients by offering a medical home where care is coordinated between healthcare providers so that it is holistic and effective. We seek to strengthen the patient-provider relationship and to personalize care to best fit the needs and preferences of each individual by offering services including same-day appointments, after-hours care/evening appointments, annual exams and physicals, an online patient portal, and preventative care.
Our Commitment
BCHS strictly adheres to the privacy laws set in place by the state and federal government regarding the confidentiality of patient health and financial information. We promise to only disclose information as allowed by law and/or with your consent.
