Berks Community Health Center

Rockland Plaza Location Is Now Open

We now offer services at a location that may be close to your home. BCHC at Rockland Plaza - the site of the former Giant grocery store - is brand new, and offers adult primary care, pediatrics and adult and children's dental care.  Our specialties will also be available - chiropractic started in December, and in January podiatry and optometry will have appointments available at Rockland.

There's nothing better than having your own family doctor, pediatrician and dentist.  So stop by or call for more information.  Please call (610) 988-4838 to make an appointment.  BCHC at Rockland is located at 1110 Rockland Street in Reading.

Our Mission Means Care for All

What do we mean when we say care for all?  BCHC provides quality health care for everyone, whether or not you have insurance, no matter what your income is, or your ability to pay. Our doctors and nurse practitioners are board-certified professionals. We accept all insurances, and have a Sliding Fee Discount Program for out-of-pocket costs. Our mission is quality, affordable care for all.
