Patient and Community Outreach Services

As a comprehensive family primary care provider, NCHC is committed to the continued well-being of each patient and the health of our community. Our wellness programs and services are designed to support healthy lifestyles and chronic illness prevention and management.  Refer to our Calendar of Events for program dates. 

Patients will be issued a voucher from their health center provider & care team. It can be redeemed during our Diaper Bank operating hours for pediatric diapers, women’s period, and adult incontinence products.

In an effort to fairly distribute supplies, the vouchers will be limited to 1 per person, per month, while supplies last.
