Venango County Human Services works hand and hand with various local support groups. Support groups are organizations of people who share a common experience, or medical issue like depression or anxiety, and who meet together to discuss their experiences, share ideas, and provide emotional support for one another. Usually a support group is led by a member who has had some training in facilitating group discussions.
The first community health center (CHC) opened its doors in 1965, with the mission of providing care to those who did not have access or had trouble affording healthcare.
Today, CHCs are at the forefront of providing primary care services, while also contributing to the individual communities they serve through health education and
supportive programs.
Primary Health Network accepts all patients, regardless of their insurance or financial status. Primary Health Network is a Federally Qualified Health Center, which in turn allows us to offer a wide range of services to patients through the Sliding Fee Discount Scale.
We offer the Sliding Fee Discount Scale to all income-eligible uninsured or underinsured patients, based on annual household income for most of our
services.
