About Helping Hands Health Center Gfhs

Hours
Monday-Friday: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

This company has provided family medicine services to residents since 1992, and was formed as a non-profit clinic at the health department with a charge to provide health care to the "under-served" of our community. Since the population (the uninsured, Medicaid, and low-income Medicare) has many special needs, the GFHS program has evolved into a much more comprehensive care provider than the typical family medicine practice. As well as, to traditional primary care (health maintenance, and acute and chronic disease care) provided by physicians and mid-level providers, they also provides pharmacy services, behavioral/mental health counseling, chronic disease education programs (in diabetes, asthma, and weight loss), nutritional counseling, medication counseling, and a medication assistance program, as well as case management programs.
