Complete Care for Every Health Need

Many Haitian immigrants come from areas where health care is a luxury, not a right. Even after arriving in the U.S., they continue to face serious barriers—like limited access to insurance, language and cultural differences, and a lack of familiarity with the American health care system. These challenges often delay care and worsen treatable conditions.

At CHS, we offer a full spectrum of healthcare services designed to meet the unique needs of the Haitian community. From primary care and pediatrics to OB/GYN and mental health support, our culturally competent team is committed to providing accessible, high-quality care every step of the way.

Here’s how we support our community:

  • We help individuals and families access safe, affordable housing by connecting them with local resources and providing guidance through the process.

  • For those experiencing food insecurity, we offer assistance and connect you with community programs that ensure you and your loved ones have access to nutritious meals.

  • We connect individuals with educational programs and job resources to help you improve your skills, find employment, and build a brighter future for you and your family.

  • In addition to healthcare, we provide emotional and psychological support to help individuals and families cope with stress, trauma, and the challenges of everyday life.
