Resource Details: CommuniHealth Services (CHS), a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center, was established in 2002 under the name Morehouse Community Medical Centers, Inc., in Bastrop, LA, where its principle offices are currently located. Recognized as the local provider of choice, CHS grew from one clinic location in Bastrop to eventually 11 health center sites across Morehouse, Union, and Ouachita Parishes. After nearly 12 years of operation, the health center rebranded to CommuniHealth Services to reflect their broader service area. CHS provides comprehensive medical, dental, and behavior health care services to all who need them, with a special focus on low-income, uninsured, underinsured, Medicaid, Medicare, and vulnerable populations.
