Welcome to the website of Community Health Center of Cape Cod, formerly Cape Cod Free Clinic & Community Health Center. As a “complete medical home”, we are a resource for prevention, wellness and quality care, not just a place to go when you are sick. We provide primary care, dental care and behavioral health services at our offices in Bourne, Falmouth and Mashpee, as well as at Barnstable High School in Hyannis.

The Health Center, first known as the Falmouth Free Clinic, was started in 1998 by a group of dedicated volunteer physicians, nurses, counselors, and lay people who came together to provide free health services to uninsured residents of Cape Cod and the Islands.

Today, we are a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center that provides access to health care for adults and children with MassHealth, Medicare, Commonwealth Care, or no insurance at all.

In December 2009, our Board of Directors made the difficult decision to temporarily limit our enrollment of patients with private insurance. This stems from the overwhelming need of people with no insurance or with public insurances such as MassHealth, Commonwealth Care or Medicare for access to health services. Our efforts to recruit additional primary care clinicians are ongoing and we have recently added some new providers to our staff. When they are fully acclimated and we feel that we can manage an increased caseload of patients, we hope to be able to lift this limitation and resume accepting patients with private insurance. Please note that this does not apply to the women’s health and gynecological services provided by Dale Weldon, MD. Dr. Weldon is accepting patients with all forms of health insurance or none at all. Call 508 540-2949 for information.

Our programs and services are provided by a caring team of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, nursing and dental staff, mental health counselors, social workers, and administrative staff. We are supported by a dedicated corps of volunteers. Through all our growth and change, our mission remains constant: to improve the health status of patients and the community we serve through the provision of comprehensive, high quality, compassionate health care to all, regardless of their ability to pay.

Whether you’re a patient, a provider, looking for an exciting career or volunteer opportunity, or an interested member of the community, we hope this site provides the information you need. Thank you for your interest in Community Health Center of Cape Cod.
