An important part of CHP’s mission is to find underserved individuals living in the central and south Berkshire region and connect them to care. We do this in a number of ways: via outreach sites throughout the county; via CHP on Wheels, our mobile outreach van; by organizing and participating in community events in Berkshire County; and at our own Health Centers and program sites.
If you do not have health insurance or feel that your insurance is inadequate, why not come to one of our free health screenings held in many locations throughout the Berkshires? There, Luci Leonard, LPN, will check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. Results are provided immediately! In addition, we can connect you with our bilingual team of enrollment specialists and outreach workers, who will assist you in enrolling either in MassHealth (Medicaid in Massachusetts) or in Commonwealth Care, a health insurance program that connects uninsured Massachusetts residents with approved private health insurance, and helps pay for the cost of premiums.
Our knowledgeable team of outreach workers are out in the community throughout the year to provide you with health education, connect you with a doctor, and help you with transportation for doctor's visits, if necessary. CHP’s typical monthly outreach schedule includes stops in many South Berkshire towns. (Click here for our Master Schedule).
CHP’s Outreach and Enrollment efforts have received funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services; the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services; the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; University of Massachusetts, Worcester; Elder Services of Berkshire County, Inc.; the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs; Tufts Health Plan; Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, and other grants and donations.
Monthly schedules vary; walk-ins are welcome.
