CHC of the North Country provides quality, affordable health care to all individuals regardless of ability to

A common misconception about our organization is that we only provide services to low income individuals with
Cerebral Palsy. While we are especially committed to providing services to low income and medically under-served
individuals, we work with people from all income levels. Additionally, our services expand far beyond individuals
with cerebral palsy to individuals with all forms of intellectual and/or development needs.
