CCHC, a locally held, private not-for-profit, is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that is required to maintain a consumer majority.

This FQHC offers a wide range of primary care options and focuses on a one stop shop philosophy to provide a caring environment for clinicians and patients.  Our comprehensive approach is complimented by bringing primary medical care, dental care, pharmacy, and testing together in one location. 

Over the past 15 years this approach has led to considerable growth.  With the recent completion of its third major expansion this health center is actively recruiting primary care providers to meet rising need for service in central Illinois.
