About us
PCHC, a non-profit organization founded in 1997, is the only Federally Qualified Health Center in the Greater Bangor area, Waldo County, and in the Jackman region. Its purpose is to ensure access to comprehensive and integrated out-patient health care services to those on MaineCare, Medicare and those both with and without insurance – regardless of their ability to pay. PCHC is recognized as a leader among the nation's Community Health Centers, and has been named an “exemplar practice” by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation’s leading health care foundation. PCHC practices are staffed by about 200 clinicians including medical and dental practitioners, mental health providers, physical therapists, pharmacists, and medical specialists. PCHC now provides over 400,000 patient visits for almost 65,000 patients annually. Its four largest practices in Bangor, Brewer, and Old Town are open seven days a week, including all day Saturday and Sunday and weekday evenings by appointment and through four Walk-In Care Clinics, for the convenience of its patients, and the public. PCHC has sixteen practices and program service sites in the Bangor area, plus one in Belfast, offering a wide range of services including family medicine, dental, pediatrics, geriatrics, nursing home care, psychiatry, mental health and substance abuse services, physical therapy, lab, x-ray, pharmacy and healthcare for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. In addition, PCHC has a team of medical specialists who deliver a wide range of specialty services including allergy, gynecology, orthopedics, podiatry, dermatology and osteopathic manipulative therapy. All PCHC services are provided with a sliding fee scale based on income through its Affordable Care Program to make certain that everyone can obtain the healthcare services they need. About 7% of PCHC’s budget is funded by Federal operating grants.

Local work. Global impact. 🌍 Over the past year, Carrie Lemos has had the opportunity to represent Unlimited Solutions Clubhouse and PCHC through active participation on several committees with Clubhouse International, a global organization supporting psychosocial Clubhouses around the world. The experience has been both professionally enriching and deeply affirming of the work happening every day at the Clubhouse. Building on her 13 years as Director of Unlimited Solutions Clubhouse, 8 years as a Faculty Member with Clubhouse International, and ongoing work with the Clubhouse Maine Coalition, Carrie currently serves on four international committees: Communications, Data Collection, Standards/Accreditation & Training, and the University Connect Initiative. Across these groups, the focus is clear—strengthening the Clubhouse Model through storytelling, meaningful data, quality standards, and partnerships that support future behavioral health professionals. From collaborating with leaders across multiple time zones to helping shape tools that support accreditation and workforce development, this work reinforces the power of shared learning and global connection. “Across all of these committees, one thing has been clear: the Clubhouse is doing important, respected work—and our experiences matter on an international level.” Thank you to the Unlimited Solutions Clubhouse and PCHC teams whose daily commitment makes this representation possible. You are part of a global movement, and your work truly matters. 🩵

From August 3–9, PCHC invites you to join us in honoring National Health Center Week (NHCW) 2025 — a time to recognize and celebrate the powerful impact of America’s nearly 1,500 Community Health Centers (CHCs), which serve more than 32.5 million people each year. This year’s 60th anniversary celebration is more than a milestone—it’s a tribute to the countless stories of healing, hope, and humanity made possible by the tireless dedication of health center staff, board members, and community supporters. As we reflect on six decades of progress and impact, we also look ahead to a future where health centers continue to lead the way in innovation, access, and equity. PCHC’s commitment to serving our community remains unwavering, and we’re excited for the next chapter — one that deepens our relationships, expands our reach, and continues to break down barriers to care. 💙 Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to 60 years strong—and many more to come. #NHCW25 #ValueCHCs #CHCs50Years #CommunityHealth #HealthEquity #PCHC
