Hamilton Community Health Network (HCHN) formally known as Hamilton Family Health Center was established in 1982 by St.Joseph's Hospital (now known as Genesys Health System), as a response to the unmet medical needs of the low income and minority populations primarily for the north side of Flint. The center offered medical, dental and social services and operated in a facility on Hamilton Avenue during the first six years of its existence.
In 1988, HFHC moved to its present and main location at 4001 North Saginaw Street. Also in 1988, the center began receiving Health Care for the Homeless funding to address the growing needs of the homeless population. On February 1, 2001, HFHC officially changed its name to Hamilton Community Health Network, Inc. (HCHN).
Hamilton Community Health Network assumed the financial and operational responsibility from Hurley Medical Center, for primary and preventive care and related services provided at their North Pointe facility. In December of 2002, HCHN began operations at our combined medical-dental site, a partnership with Genesee County Health Department, to offer a multitude of services such as family planning, immunizations for children and adults, pregnancy testing and counseling and pediatric services to an area of the city that lacked access to medical care.
Over 20 years of service offering a caring trained, certified staff that is concerned with the management of chronic and acute disease, oral health management, health promotion and disease prevention. HCHN is in a position to become a leader of primary care to the underserved population of this county.
