Our Mission: Coos County Family Health Services is a community-based organization providing innovative, personalized, comprehensive health care and social services of the highest quality to everyone, regardless of economic status. Our Services: We provide comprehensive primary care services on a sliding fee scale in our offices, visits to those needing services in their homes, some school services, and care in the hospital and nursing home when necessary. Our Organization: CCFHS had its start in 1974 as a Title X Family Planning agency. In 1980, it merged with Family Health Programs, an organization which provided pre-natal and infant care. In the ensuing years additional services were added, and in 1993 CCFHS was Federally-funded and recognized as a full-service Community Health Center. In 2004, CCFHS merged with Mountain Health Services, thus expanding to 2 additional sites with 21 providers. Our Board: CCFHS is a non-profit corporation operated by a Community Board of Directors, a majority of whom are clients of the agency. Our Staff: Currently, CCFHS is staffed by Family Practice Physicians, Internists, OB-GYNs, Pediatricians, Podiatrist, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants. Approximately 30% of our staff are bi-lingual (French). Funding: Federal Government (330 Community Health Center Grant), State of New Hampshire, Private and Public Foundations, Client/Insurance Reimbursement, Local Funding, and Private Contributions.
