Community Support Services
At Charter Oak Health Center, we believe healthcare goes beyond medical visits. Our Community Support Services connect patients and families to trusted local, state, and national organizations that support caregiving, aging, child development, housing, nutrition, and overall well-being. These resources reflect our commitment to whole-person care and addressing social factors that impact health.
