The Chautauqua Center

The Chautauqua Center is a federally qualified health center that specializes in family medicine, women's health, dental care, pharmacy, behavioral health, and substance abuse services. They offer same-day appointments, insurance enrollment assistance, a sliding fee scale, and discount prescriptions. The center has bilingual staff to help patients every step of the way. Patients praise the dental program, describing the staff as friendly, caring, and welcoming. They provide excellent service, including emergency appointments and step-by-step explanations of procedures. The center's chiropractor, Zachary, is also highly recommended, with one patient feeling "like a new person" after their first appointment. While the services, care, and staff are generally praised, there is a concern that the Integrated Health Care System may be unintentionally profiling low-income patients as having an addiction. The facility and the entire county are also reported to be understaffed in every sector, suggesting a need for more qualified medical staff to create a healthier and happier community.
