Founded in a Worcester housing project in 1972, today Kennedy CHC has three medical facilities, two dental sites, two optometry practices and six school-based clinics serving residents of Worcester, Framingham, Milford, and the surrounding communities of MetroWest and Central Massachusetts. Currently over 28,000 patients of all ages receive care and service through our family practice model of care, a comprehensive approach to the delivery of quality primary and urgent care, medical specialties, dental care, optometry, pharmacy, behavioral health, LGBTQ+ services, laboratory services, substance use disorders, social services, nutrition and health education and HIV treatment. Kennedy CHC is certified as a patient-centered medical home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, a model that supports the flow of information among medical teams, coordinating health care visits, utilizing electronic technologies for tracking and errors prevention, and providing follow-up while, most importantly, engaging patients in their care.
