About us

Thunder Bay Community Health Service, Inc. commits its resources to building healthier communities. Thunder Bay Community Health Service, Inc., (TBCHS) is a non–profit, 501 (c) (3) independent corporation governed by a volunteer board of directors representing the communities we serve. TBCHS was founded in 1980 by a group of concerned citizens who identified the need for greater access to primary care services in the region. In July 1982, TBCHS became operational as a National Health Service Corporation solo practice, and in October 1983 was awarded Section 330 federal funding operating under the guidelines of a Community Health Center. Today this designation is referred to as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) supported by the Health Resources and Service Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This special status makes us eligible for a variety of programs, allowing us to offer a much broader scope of service than would otherwise be possible in a rural area. Through the years, we have grown to serve the populations of Montmorency, Alpena, Cheboygan, Otsego, Oscoda, and Presque Isle Counties. We provide health care for all ages, regardless of insurance status where everyone is welcome!

    Nearly 60 years ago, visionary community activists and reform-minded physicians in the Civil Rights Movement established the first Community Health Centers to fight poverty, advance health equity, and change lives. In the process, they launched a national movement. Today, health centers are the largest primary care network in the United States, serving 31.5 million patients nationwide. A new short video from NACHC recounts the early history of health centers, founded as a bold experiment to bring healthcare to the nation’s overlooked rural and urban communities. #ValueCHCs #HealthEquity
