Our Community Health Centers are open to the public by appointment or walk-in. All are welcome. Community Health Centers are located in both St.
Lawrence and Franklin Counties (Malone, Canton, Gouverneur, Ogdensburg and Watertown). Services vary by site but generally include: comprehensive primary, pediatric, behavioral, dental, optometry, and preventative care services to persons of all ages, regardless of their ability to pay. While accepting most insurances, Community Health Centers are also designated as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC's) offering a sliding fee scale to those individuals and families that are uninsured and/or medically under-served. The sliding fee scale is based on patients' family size and income level.

Today is !
Unlike any other Tuesday, Giving Tuesday reminds us to come together to make a profound difference in the lives of others, create a positive impact, and spread kindness far and wide. The gift of giving (whether it be a monetary donation, donation of services, volunteering, or even helping a friend or neighbor in need) can truly make a difference in the lives of others.

As another year is about to be put behind us and a new one approaches, it's time to make sure that all of your annual exams have been scheduled!
Whether it's your annual visit with your primary care provider for your general/overall wellness, or if it's your annual mammogram, colonoscopy or prostate exam, all are equally important!

Support from the Fidelis Care Here for Your Health rural health grant will fund equipment and supplies to expand access to our specialty dermatology services at all four of our health centers, bringing essential skin care directly to underserved patients who would otherwise need to travel long distances for specialty services. Thank you to the team at Fidelis Care for supporting our team, and many other rural providers of healthcare and human services.
In recognition of National Rural Health Day, Fidelis Care is proud to announce $130,000 in Here for Your Health rural health grants to support innovative preventive care initiatives in communities across New York State.
These grants help expand access to care in areas where distance, resources, and provider shortages can make staying healthy more challenging. We’re honored to support organizations that are creating meaningful, community-based solutions to help rural New Yorkers get the care they need.
Congratulations to our 2025 grant recipients:
• Oak Orchard Health Center (Monroe County)
• Literacy West NY, Inc. (Finger Lakes Region)

• Southern Adirondack Independent Living - SAIL (Warren County)
