Community HealthNet offers comprehensive healthcare for all

Community HealthNet Health Centers is committed to offering comprehensive healthcare to adults and children. CHN provides a range of acute, chronic and preventative care. In addition to traditional prenatal, pediatric and family medicine services, CHN offers routine check-ups, health and wellness assessments, immunizations, screenings and referral based personalized counseling to individuals of all ages. As a federally qualified health center it is their mission to provide quality and affordable medical services to all individuals in need of health care. CHN has five locations throughout Lake County: Gary (2), Merrillville, Hammond and the school-based clinic in Calumet High School. They employ a staff of licensed and professional physicians who are committed to the health and well-being of their patients.

Since opening its doors in 1998, CHN continues to expand the scope of services that we offer our patients. Partnering with state and local organizations CHN is able to offer more affordable access to preventative health services such as mammograms. These services are made possible through a partnership with the Indiana State Department of Health Breast Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP). Recently CHN opened doors to the first Centering Pregnancy Clinic in Lake County offering a program aimed to improve birth immortality rates and coach mothers through a successful pregnancy. Funded by the March of Dimes, the Centering Pregnancy Clinic is operated by an on-staff certified nurse mid-wife. Just recently CHN partnered with Geminus Corporation to conduct on-site Domestic Violence Prevention trainings helping its medical staff to identify child abuse.

In need of insurance? CHN's got you covered! How about dental services? CHN can brighten your smile. Community HealthNet is partnered with Covering Kids and Families Indiana, a grassroots statewide initiative aimed to enroll individuals, primarily youth in state provided medical plans. As a certified application and enrollment site CHN employs outreach specialists working to educate, enroll and meet the demands of the Affordable Care Act through Marketplace enrollments. At the main site in Gary, CHN is partnered with Kool Smiles to provide dental services to both youth and adults.
