Every child should have a new toy to unwrap during the holidays. Thanks to the generosity of local groups and individuals, our Santa's Workshop (conference room) will be overflowing with unwrapped toys for our pediatric patients. You'll help make spirits bright, wrapping, tagging and sorting toys in time for Santa's visit. [Santa arrives Friday, December 20 at 5 pm.] We welcome you for one or more hours or whatever time you can spare, during health center hours, Monday - Friday 9 am - 5 pm, December 16-20.

Mission Statement
At the Norwalk Community Health Center (NCHC), we believe that accessible healthcare should be a vital part of every community. We are committed to serving as an active partner in the South Norwalk Community. It is our mission to provide healthcare services tailored to the needs of the community and to every patient, regardless of status or socioeconomic background.
Description
NCHC is a 501(c)3 Federally Qualified Health Center serving the underinsured/uninsured residents of Norwalk. We have a patient base of over 13,000 generating over 52,000 visits each year since opening April 12, 1999. We offer continuity of primary care in Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and OB/GYN, as well as clinics such as pulmonology and endocrinology. We also provide adult and pediatric dental care and behavioral health for children, teens, families and individuals and free wellness programs for our patients and community outreach. Our integrated health team approach focuses on the wellbeing of each of patients and their families. Our health center is ranked in the top 10% of all health centers nationwide (1,400 health centers) for the quality of care we provide. In addition to our flagship facility, our Medical Mobile Unit goes into the community to serve those who can't get to our offices and those who might otherwise fall through the cracks. We also opened a second, smaller facilities in fall of 2020 at the Smilow Life Center, 55 Chestnut St, South Norwalk to provide improved access to residents of that neighborhood.
We also provide covid19 testing
