Community Health Centers
Delaware has community health centers located within each county. These centers are well equipped to respond to medical needs and provide a medical home for a variety of people in almost all income levels. The health centers see insured, under-insured and uninsured patients. Most centers bill their patients on a sliding fee scale, based on the patient's income. These centers are not operated by the Division of Public Health but are listed here for your convenience.
