DESERT SENITA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER

Desert Senita Community Health Center

Desert Senita Community Health Center (DSCHC) and Desert Senita Dental Center (DSDC) are community-owned and community-governed health and dental care resources, licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services to provide primary health, dental care and behavioral health services. DSCHC became an independent, private, non-profit corporation in 1997 and became a Federally Qualified Health Center in 2001. The health center meets the needs of the community, both in assisting those who are uninsured or underinsured, and in expanding services to truly meet the health needs of a community which is isolated and sparsely populated. The vision of the center is to "strive to be the focal point for health and dental care in our diverse, multi-cultural communities. We offer our patients a full continuum of affordable, quality health care services and referrals to specialty care through the careful use of available resources".
