“We’re so grateful for the support to help low-income families in our area with counseling and dental needs,” said Pam Murphy, executive director, Shenandoah Community Health Clinic. “Too many people in our region go without care because they can’t find it or can’t afford it.” Shenandoah County has been declared “underserved” by the federal government for dental, medical, and mental health services, meaning there aren’t enough health providers for the county’s population.

Shenandoah Community Health Clinic provides medical, dental and counseling services to families with Medicaid and other insurances. Sliding scale fees based on family income are available to residents of Shenandoah County. Please call (540) 459-1700 for questions about medical or counseling services, (540) 459-9333 for dental questions.
