The Danville Health Center is a family practice designed to make health care and health education more readily available to area residents.

We offer complete, coordinated, and individualized health care to people of all ages; from babies to great-grandparents. In this sense, we try to fill the role of the old-time family doctor.

We have designed our Health Center to include the most modern approaches to health care. We provide a one-stop location for many of your family's health needs, including primary medical care, laboratory tests, and a variety of programs geared toward health maintenance - the prevention of illness.

Our staff will work with you to treat you when you are sick, and to keep you healthy when you are feeling well.

The Health Center opened in 1978 and operated as a Nurse Practitioner site for seven years before hiring our first doctor in 1985. Our Federally Qualified Health Center is currently staffed by two M.D.'s and two Nurse Practitioners as well as office nurses, office staff, and transcriptionists.

We offer diagnosis and treatment of illness in children, adolescents and adults, as well as preventive health care. We assist patients in managing their chronic illnesses, and make referrals to specialists as needed.

We offer a Sliding Scale Program and a Reduced Fee Prescription Drug Program
