Our Community
We serve an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse urban population. The majority of the patients cared for at the health center reside in Worcester and the surrounding towns. About half of our patients participate in the state Medicaid program. These individuals are among the most vulnerable individuals in our community. We are proud of the health care we deliver to them to address the health problems related to urban poverty.
Our patients include blue-collar and white-collar workers, stay-at-home parents, students, lawyers and other professionals. The cultural mix of Hahnemann Family Health Center's patients reflects the ethnic diversity of Worcester. We care for a proportionate number of Latinos, African Americans, Southeast Asians, and immigrants from the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central and South America, and Africa. Our patients represent a large diversity of ethnicities and come from all walks of life. All patients also have access to a very reliable and proficient Translation Service as needed.
