Lynn / Massachusetts / United States
Lynn Community Health Center is a non-profit, multicultural, community health center. Located in the heart of our community, we are at the center of a larger solution to the healthcare crisis that is facing our nation today. We are recognized as a leader in developing new initiatives that result in high-impact, low cost health care. Our mission is to provide comprehensive health care to everyone in our community, regardless of ability to pay Our vision is that poor health is never again a barrier to raising a healthy family, pursuing gainful and satisfying employment, or learning in school. At the health center, board-certified physicians lead teams of health professionals that can address most any ambulatory health need or chronic condition. They are joined by highly qualified mental health therapists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, optometrists, and pharmacists, and other specialists in creating a patient-centered medical home. This is an innovative model designed to respect each patient’s unique needs. Care is coordinated among providers, with special attention paid to medial and behavioral health clinicians, who practice together in the same location. The patient and, when appropriate, his or her family, is considered a central part of the care team and actively participates in decision making.
