About us
Caring Health Center (CHC) is one of the premier health centers in Western Massachusetts, and for nearly 30 years it has served as an essential source of health care for residents of the greater Springfield area. CHC is the most culturally diverse and linguistically leading institution in the region. It is the leader in modeling employment equity based on being both women-led and having majority representation of people of color in our executive and overall leadership team. As an innovator, CHC has participated in federally funded research for over 21 years. In 1995, the time of its inception, CHC employed 20 and provided health care to 5,000 patients at a single site. Today, CHC employs over 250 and serves about 20,000 patients annually, providing affordable, quality, comprehensive medical care at three sites. In addition, the organization operates a state-of-the art pharmacy and WIC Nutrition Program, and serves as the largest Refugee Health Assessment provider in Massachusetts. CHC's on-site Wellness Center provides nutrition education, group physical exercise, and other services to support healthy and productive lives among patients. CHC’s team and Board of Directors ensure that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses their cultural, economic, and language needs, while its behavioral health specialists deliver services to address a wide range of emotional and other issues.

Thank you Erica Letson, Eddy Correa and our fabulous team of health navigators for all of the work that you do!
🏛️ Today at the Massachusetts State House, we were proud to join Navigators from across the Commonwealth to spread the word about Open Enrollment. In the words of the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Health Connector, Audrey Morse Gasteier, “Massachusetts requires everyone to have health insurance, so if you don’t have coverage, now is the time to enroll”. ⏳With only 10 days left until the Jan. 23 deadline, the final countdown to the end of Open Enrollment is here. Now is the time to secure health insurance through the Health Connector for 2024, and with expanded ConnectorCare eligibility, more people can access affordable, high-quality coverage with low premiums, no deductibles, and no-cost prescriptions for chronic conditions. 💙 Need help? Navigators across the state are ready to help Massachusetts residents in over 30 languages. Don’t wait! Apply today at www.MAhealthconnector.org. #GetCovered #HealthPlansThatFit

The Season of Giving is still making an impact! We were thrilled to host Leonard Underwood, MPA, Founder & CEO of Upscale Socks, who generously presented a $1,000 check from his Suit Your Soles ‘Step Into Greatness’ campaign. This contribution will directly benefit a scholar in our 2025 HBCU Cohort! This incredible gift stems from his sales during the 2024 holiday season. A heartfelt thank you to Leonard for supporting our mission and recognizing the transformative power of the HBCU experience. Check out the joyful moments captured with our President & CEO, Shannon M. Rudder, MBA. Lenny is dedicated to uplifting others, and this donation will help ensure the continuation of our programs. Our Historic Black College & University and College Readiness Programming has been a cornerstone of MLKFS since 1984, making it our longest-running initiative. In addition to the generous check, Leonard created a special HBCU-themed sock to accompany this wonderful gift! #SeasonOfGiving #HBCU #MLKFamilyServices #CommunitySupport #UpscaleSocks #EducationMatters #Empowerment #Philanthropy #StepIntoGreatness #Scholarship #ThankYou 📸Mural photos: J ROSE IMAGING
