Originally established in 1995 as Portsmouth Community Health Center, Inc., the organization began in response to a documented shortage of primary care providers for low-income and uninsured residents in Portsmouth. A 1992 study by the city’s Health Services Advisory Committee identified a critical gap in care, with many residents relying on emergency rooms for primary treatment. The center was founded to bridge this gap, offering federally qualified health services to those without consistent access to care. Its providers are board-certified and trained in a broad range of specialties, including internal medicine, pediatrics, and women’s health, enabling them to deliver comprehensive, family-centered care.

The Portsmouth Community Health Center is located on High Street, just a short walk from London Boulevard and near King Square and Holley Square At Westbury. It sits within the city’s central neighborhood, a few hundred feet from I C Norcom High School and the Portsmouth Health Clinic, making it accessible to residents of nearby residential areas.

As a federally qualified health center, the clinic operates under federal public health service protections, ensuring accountability and quality in patient care. It remains a trusted provider in the region, known for its long-standing dedication to underserved communities and its focus on preventive medicine, chronic disease management, and patient advocacy.

Hampton Roads Community Health Center continues to be a vital resource in Portsmouth, supporting the health and well-being of families across generations.
