Healthcare should not depend on what someone can afford. At Paterson Community Health, that belief guides everything we do.
For more than three decades, our team has provided care to individuals and families throughout New Jersey, with a strong focus on those who are uninsured or underinsured. Patients come to us for primary care, pediatrics, women’s health, dental services, and more, all delivered with respect and attention to individual needs.
Every visit is about more than treating symptoms. It is about helping people stay healthy, access resources, and feel supported in their daily lives.
How We Make a Difference
Our work reaches beyond the exam room. Many of the people we serve face barriers that make it harder to access consistent care, including cost, transportation, or lack of insurance.
At Paterson Community Health, we help bridge those gaps by:
- Providing care to insured and uninsured patients alike
- Offering services on a sliding fee scale based on income
- Connecting patients to housing, food, and financial support resources
- Delivering preventive care that helps avoid serious health issues
- Creating a space where patients are treated with dignity and understanding
We are a Federally Qualified Health Center, which means our mission is rooted in serving communities that need care the most.
Why Community Support Matters
The need for accessible healthcare continues to grow. Many patients rely on us as their only consistent source of medical care.
Your support helps us:
- Expand services for families who might otherwise go without care
- Provide screenings, vaccinations, and preventive services
- Maintain affordable options for uninsured individuals
- Strengthen outreach efforts to reach more people across New Jersey
Even small contributions can have a real impact on someone’s ability to receive care when they need it.
