LITTLE RIVERS HEALTH CARE, INC was founded in
July 2003
, in order to provide respectful, comprehensive
primary health care for all residents regardless of their
ability to pay for it.


We are a comprehensive health center serving the
primary
health care needs in a service area includes the
Vermont Towns of Bradford, Chelsea, Corinth, Fairlee,
Groton, Newbury, Norwich, Orange, Ryegate, Strafford,
Thetford, Topsham, Tunbridge, Vershire, Washington,
West Fairlee
and the neighboring towns of New
Hampshire.


In December 2005, we received notice of our designation
as a Federally Qualified Health Center. We formally began
operations as a community health center in June of 2006.   
Little Rivers Health Care is governed by  a board of
 
community volunteers, the majority of whom are patients

in the practice.

This designation gives our communities access to federal
funding to
help provide health care for uninsured and
under-insured individuals and families
.  It will help bring
new services to our community in the future including
dental care, on-site mental health counseling, better
connections to existing social services, access to
low-cost
prescription medications and aid in the recruitment of
additional health providers.
