Community Health Center of Richmond: Building Wellness, Treating Illness
With four Staten Island locations, the Community Health Center of Richmond (CHCR) provides primary and behavioral healthcare, dental, podiatry, maternal and infant health and nutrition.
With a mission to sustain a vibrant, healthy, strong community, patients are at the heart of its approach. The center’s expert staff is committed to treating the whole person, not just the condition.
Women’s health is a cornerstone of CHCR’s services, encompassing sexual health screenings, family planning, and prenatal and postpartum care. From obgyns and nutritional counseling to parenting workshops, many Staten Islanders choose to have a baby with CHCR. The center’s certified lactation counselors provide on-on-one breastfeeding support, the Baby Café offers free, informal breastfeeding support groups, and expert pediatricians help care for your new arrival.
The comprehensive primary care service includes regular health checks, screenings, vaccinations, and ongoing health management. Expert dentists and hygienists offer state-of-the-art services from cleanings and restorations to root canals and dentures. The center also emphasizes nutritional counseling and wellness programs, recognizing the integral role of nutrition in overall health.
As a Federally Qualified Health Center, CHCR provides affordable, accessible, quality health care to all, regardless of ability to pay. Its philosophy of inclusivity across gender, culture and beliefs is lived through the center’s team that speaks a range of languages to ensure communication is never a barrier.
The Community Health Center of Richmond is more than a healthcare provider; it is a vital part of the community, changing lives daily and building a lifelong wellness ethic across Staten Island and beyond.
