About Fair Haven Community Health Care

Fair Haven Community Health Care was started in 1971 by community members and volunteers who wanted to initiate health services for the Fair Haven neighborhood. The vision of the Community Health Center was born in this era and grew from the premise that health care should be a right of all people regardless of their ability to pay.

With a commitment to serving the New Haven, Branford and East Haven communities, FHCHC takes a holistic approach to health, linking medical services, pharmacy services, dental services, and behavioral health.

FHCHC has grown from the small store front to a complex, multifaceted primary care center that currently serves more than 36,000 patients with over 150,000 visits per year.
