Detailed Introduction
Hopewell Health Centers - Chillicothe Dental is a specific location under the umbrella of Hopewell Health Centers, Inc. Hopewell Health Centers is a comprehensive and integrated healthcare organization, designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Community Health Center (CHC). Its mission is to provide access to affordable, high-quality, and integrated healthcare for all individuals. The organization was formed in July 2013 through the merger of Family Healthcare, Inc. and Tri-County Mental Health and Counseling Services, Inc., with a long history of support from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations.
Hopewell Health Centers operates 22 sites across nine counties in southeastern Ohio, including Athens, Gallia, Hocking, Jackson, Meigs, Perry, Ross, Vinton, and Washington. The Chillicothe Dental clinic specifically offers a full range of dental services. Beyond dental care, Hopewell Health Centers provides a wide array of services, including primary care (acute and sick visits, chronic disease management, health screenings, immunizations, physicals, women's health), behavioral health care (community psychiatric supportive treatment, crisis services, outpatient counseling, psychiatry, school-based services, substance abuse programs, youth partial hospitalization), and various community support programs and trainings.
A core tenet of Hopewell Health Centers is accessibility. They accept all insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare, and offer a sliding fee scale for qualifying patients, ensuring that no one is denied quality care due to inability to pay. They are deeply committed to improving community well-being and addressing healthcare gaps in underserved areas, often being one of the few healthcare providers in several southeastern Ohio counties. Their integrated approach aims to treat both the body and the mind, exemplified by their model of integrating behavioral health consultants into primary care settings.
