About us

Caring Health Center (CHC) is one of the premier health centers in Western Massachusetts, and for nearly 30 years it has served as an essential source of health care for residents of the greater Springfield area. CHC is the most culturally diverse and linguistically leading institution in the region. It is the leader in modeling employment equity based on being both women-led and having majority representation of people of color in our executive and overall leadership team. As an innovator, CHC has participated in federally funded research for over 21 years. In 1995, the time of its inception, CHC employed 20 and provided health care to 5,000 patients at a single site. Today, CHC employs over 250 and serves about 20,000 patients annually, providing affordable, quality, comprehensive medical care at three sites. In addition, the organization operates a state-of-the art pharmacy and WIC Nutrition Program, and serves as the largest Refugee Health Assessment provider in Massachusetts. CHC's on-site Wellness Center provides nutrition education, group physical exercise, and other services to support healthy and productive lives among patients. CHC’s team and Board of Directors ensure that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses their cultural, economic, and language needs, while its behavioral health specialists deliver services to address a wide range of emotional and other issues.

Dr. Jonathan A. Moseley has served as the Chief Medical Officer for Caring Health Center in Springfield since 2020, making a profound impact on the community. His dedication shines through in his leadership being instrumental in our present outreach to homeless individuals and families by leading a monthly clinic at the Springfield Rescue Mission. It offers essential healthcare to the most vulnerable members of our community. Over the years, Dr. Moseley's compassion has also led him to participate in short-term medical missions to Haiti, Bolivia, China, Czech Republic, South Africa, and Peru, bringing medical care to those in need across the globe.
Sickle cell disease affects about 100,000 people in the U.S. – more than 90% are non-Hispanic Black or African American, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sickle Cell Awareness Month is held every September to raise awareness and attention for sickle cell disease. The estimated life expectancy of those with sickle cell disease is more than 20 years shorter than the average expected. Many of those afflicted do not receive the recommended healthcare screenings and treatments. Call (413) 739-1100 to talk to a Caring Health Center provider.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month takes place every September and is a time for the community to show support for children, young people, and families affected by childhood cancer. In the United States, one in 260 children or adolescents under 20 are diagnosed with cancer each year, and pediatric cancers are the leading cause of death from disease in children and adolescents. Call (413) 739-1100 to talk to a Caring Health Center provider about our pediatric services.
