Keep your mouth and teeth healthy

City health centers accept Medicare, Medicaid (Medical Assistance) and most insurance and HMO plans.
If you are uninsured, we charge a small fee based on family size and income.

We can help you apply for health insurance you can afford.

As a registered patient, you will get your own personal doctor. It's a much better way to get medical care than going from doctor to doctor or rushing to the emergency room when something goes wrong.

Philadelphia residents can also get dental care at many community health centers throughout the city. Browse by neighborhood to find more health centers near you.
