A newly renovated, full-service Family Medicine clinic
Family & Community Care is the first clinic to open at Cheshire Medical Center's new West Campus on Maple Avenue. It is fully integrated with the rest of the Medical Center and the larger Dartmouth Health system, of which Cheshire is a member. We use the same electronic medical records, myDH, patient registration process and billing department.
The clinic also has onsite laboratory facilities and integrated behavioral health services.
Kids are the doctors at Cheshire Medical Center’s Teddy Bear Clinic
The annual event is April 26. Registration opens April 1.
Primary Care at Family & Community Care
Our services at Family & Community Care include medical care for patients of all ages, such as:
- Acute, episodic illness care (cold symptoms, strep throat, minor injuries) for infants, children and adults
- Annual physicals (preventive medicine) for infants, children and adults
- Chronic disease care (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or depression)
- Gender-affirming healthcare
- Reproductive healthcare and family planning
- Adolescent and young adult care
- Primary care sports medicine
- Outpatient procedures in dermatology, gynecology and sports medicine, with the ability to refer patients to specialty services when appropriate
Since this program is the first-of-its-kind in our region, we anticipate many questions about what a residency training site is and how it may affect local medical care. We'll do our best to answer those here.
