Services

Sexual Health

We offer quality and confidential (private) healthcare to all our patients. Our centers offer testing and care for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), HIV, and Hepatitis.

We also provide an array of birth control options, preventive education programs, counseling, and other supportive services

Worried about the cost of birth control?

We can help you get the birth control you want, even if you can’t pay. If you don’t have insurance, we can help you get it.

Are you under 21 years old?

CHN will never contact your parents about any sexual health services you get at CHN. These services will be fully private and will not cost you anything.

Do you have more questions?

Visit our directory and speak with a Health Educator. You can also call (866) 246-8259 and ask to speak to a Health Educator, or email [email protected].

Update: Parent Portal Access

Dear Parent or Guardian,

We would like to inform you that as of October 1, 2026, access to your child’s Healow account through Community Healthcare Network (CHN) will be limited to viewing immunizations and referrals for all patients ages 12 and older. This change is required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and New York State laws that protect minors’ rights to confidentiality.

You may still request your child’s medical records by calling or visiting your health center.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please speak with our front desk staff during your next visit or go to: chnnyc.info/nylaw

Thank you,
Community Healthcare Network (CHN)
