General Information:White Mountain Community Health Center’s Mission is to:Provide high quality primary health care, public health services and related support service, in response to the health status needs of the community. Services will be provided without restricting their availability or compromising the quality of care given on any basis including race, creed, gender, national origin, handicap, age, sexual orientation, or ability to pay. WMCHC is located in Conway and serves Northern Carroll County and Western Maine. Many residents from Ossipee and Tamworth receive services from the health center. Services are provided to those who have Healthy Kids Gold and Silver, Medicaid, Medicare, commercial insurances, and most importantly residents without means of payment. The center has a sliding fee scale that is based on the income related to the published poverty level. We believe everyone should be able to access health care. Funding allows the provision of additional services that patients may need such as nutrition and social work. Adult primary care for diagnosis, treatment and prevention is offered through physicals and sick call appointments. Specific programs for prenatal care, pediatric, teen walk-in clinic, family planning, and dental hygiene are offered. Other services include HIV and sexually transmitted disease testing, chronic disease management, and referral services. Some laboratory services are provided on site and others are sent out to a multifaceted laboratory. The health center’s clinical staff includes medical assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, family practice physician, social workers, nurse midwifes, and a nutritionist. The staff is trained and has specialties across the age ranges from a pediatric nurse practitioner to a nurse practitioner specializing in geriatrics. The Center’s newest offering is called Healthy Heart Screens. For $15.00 a series of tests are taken to measure known variables to heart disease. The tests are blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, and body mass index (a measure of weight and height). The results are available at the time of the appointment. The nurse provides education and brochures about each measure of health. Currently, the appointments are on Friday mornings. Due to the low cost of these exams, full payment is expected at the time of service. Appointments can be made by calling 603-447-8900 and press 1.
