Coos County Family Health Services stands as a nonprofit, community-based medical group practicing in Berlin, NH, and reaching out with locations in Gorham and Colebrook, where folks from North Country can get a broad mix of medical and social services for people of all ages, and the team, made up of MDs, Nurse Practitioners with those APRNP and RNPN titles, and Registered Nurses, covers many needs like family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, behavioral health, oral health, women's health, podiatry, and special programs for survivors of domestic violence and assault, so there's a little bit of help for everybody, no matter what insurance or income they have. The clinics run express care Monday through Friday from eight in the morning 'til three in the afternoon and welcome walk-ins, and you've got a patient portal if you're the type who likes to send your questions, look up test results, or ask for a refill right from home, or use telehealth if you can't make it in.
They look after people with screenings and checkups to spot health risks, manage heart and thyroid problems, and watch over chronic pain, arthritis, or musculoskeletal troubles, and you'll also find help for urinary and reproductive conditions like infections or pelvic pain, as well as skin care for things like acne, moles, and even Mohs Micrographic Surgery for certain skin concerns, plus special procedures, including cervical cone biopsy and endometrial ablation. For moms and babies, there's pregnancy care, fetal ultrasounds, and maternal assessments, and kids get pediatric nursing right from the start with things like newborn metabolic screens. The clinics also stand ready to help with immunizations, blood allergy tests, bone scans, EKGs, cholesterol and cancer checks, Pap smears, STI screenings, and all the usual preventive care. Managing conditions as common as diabetes, asthma, COPD, migraines, and depression comes standard, and if folks need mental health services-be it for mood issues, anxiety, or substance use disorder-the integrated providers, including mental health pros, step in either in person or through telehealth.
The dental offices, part of the services, handle oral health for families, and interpretation is available for folks speaking Filipino, French, German, Hausa, or Spanish, making things clearer no matter your background. Care coordinators help with complicated issues, so people don't have to go it alone, and the clinics see everyone from young children to older adults, with someone named Ken Gordon to guide the ship. Each clinic, from Pleasant Street and Page Hill Road in Berlin to Gorham, Willow Street, and Colebrook (including dental spots), stays busy offering as much help as possible, with appointments for the common and the complicated, and recognition for steady, caring service.
