We also provide patients with personalized chronic disease management services and rehabilitation services (including physical therapy and occupational therapy) for patients with chronic pain.Our psychiatristst and mental health counselors provide individual services such as medication and counseling for patients with psychological problems. We also continue to provide the PEARLs project (Program to Encourage Active and RewardingLivesS) for the isolated elderly living in the community and provide systematic care services for the isolated elderly who have minor depression. We hope to create a healthier community through these services.

In partnership with the Montgomery County Public Health Department, in addition to providing COVID-19 testing and vaccination services for the community, we also insist on providing primary care, rehabilitation service, and mental health services. We continue to provide primary care to uninsured, low-income Montgomery County residents in our community, and we also provide medical services to insured residents. CCACC Health Center now accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance such as Care First, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shields.
