PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL AND DENTAL HEALTHCARE

For nearly 40 years, Hometown Health Centers (HHC) has proudly been the primary care provider of choice for more than 15,000 local children and families.

Hometown Health started with humble beginnings. It was the vision of Hendrik Rozendaal, M.D., a local physician who in 1970 began volunteering his services in the community. Dr. Rozendaal would provide basic primary healthcare services out of a single room at the Carver Community Center. For many local residents, this was their only opportunity to receive medical care.

On December 11, 1972, the practice was granted an operating certificate by the New York State Department of Health and formally named the Carver Community Health Center. As word spread about the availability of affordable, quality healthcare in Schenectady, the center experienced significant increases in its patient population. Providing care for the uninsured and underserved proved to be quite a challenge through the years, but with dedication and determination, in 1979 the health center was awarded its first Federal Urban Health Initiative Grant which allowed Carver to increase its provision of care in the community.

In 2012, Hometown Health Center was officially recognized as a Level-3 Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).

The commitment continued as demand for health access increased and on April 2, 1985, Carver Community Health Center was issued a certificate of incorporation. Soon after a new building was purchased and in January of 1986, The Carver Community Health Center officially opened its new healthcare site in the former Horace Mann School at 602-608 Craig Street. Five years later, its name was changed to Schenectady Family Health Services to better reflect the health center’s expanded mission and services.

Hometown may have had a modest start, but it quickly became the primary care safety-net provider for thousands of local residents. As management and staff prepared to move into a new state-of-the-art health center, the organization re-branded itself with a new name, Hometown Health Centers (HHC), which continues the original mission to provide care for the medically underserved. In December of 2005, HHC opened its doors to the community at its current location, 1044 State Street in Schenectady. Since that time, HHC has provided high-quality healthcare and comprehensive dental services to children and families all over the Capital Region.

HHC, which is the only not-for-profit, federally qualified health center (FQHC) in Schenectady County, has set a standard for quality healthcare in the community. Hometown Health Center offers its patients obstetrical care, pediatric medicine, family medicine, gynecology, podiatry, mental health and comprehensive dental services.
