The Community Health Center of Burlington’s mission is to improve the health of all within the communities we serve. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care with respect and compassion and with a commitment to serving people who have a limited ability to pay.
“When I got to the Health Center I was completely broke and homeless. I was in Vietnam for two years and had post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You (the Community Health Center) were more than I could possibly have thought. My PTSD is so much better. I’m in a good state now. I had nothing to live for. You saved me.”
