The Center is a program of Chestnut Health Systems, which has been providing services in our community since the early 1970s. All of our physicians, physician assistants, and advanced practice nurses are dedicated to providing medical care which is specifically tailored to your needs and the needs of your family including primary health care for all ages, psychiatry, and behavioral health.

Primary Health Care for all Ages

We strongly believe in preventative medicine and encourage annual physical exams, gynecological care, immunization updates, and cancer screenings. We are always happy to discuss lifestyle issues that may improve your health. Your care is performed and managed by a medical professional in collaboration with other health professionals, and utilizing consultation or referrals as appropriate. We strive to promote effective communication with patients and encourage the role of the patient as a partner in health care.

Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Services

For established patients of the health center, Chestnut Family Health Center also offers psychiatry and behavioral health services. Health center patients will be referred to these specialty service providers by their Chestnut primary care provider when appropriate.
