Community Health Centers (CHCs) are non-profit organizations that serve populations with limited access to health care. CHCs provide comprehensive primary and preventive primary care, as well as acute care, dental and mental health services (on site or by referral). CHCs serve all patients regardless of age, income or ability to pay, within a designated service area.
We are an independent non-profit organization. We are located in the same building as Providence Seward Medical Center, but we are a separate entity.
Everyone on our 12-member Board of Directors is a citizen volunteer, and more than half are patients of the Center.
No. Seward Community Health Center (SCHC) is located in the same building as Providence, but we are a separate organization.
SCHC is not an Urgent Care provider, but we can usually offer same-day appointments for acute conditions like strep throat, or small lacerations. Our nursing staff will speak with you to determine whether your condition is a good fit for same-day treatment.
Depending on your coverage, your visit at SCHC may be considered out-of-network. To confirm coverage, please contact your insurance company and reference our Tax ID number, 27-3912808.
