Welcome to Good Neighbor Health Clinic
Founded in 1992, The Good Neighbor Health Clinics (GNHC) is a free health care facility whose mission is to offer accessible, primary medical and dental care to all those in the Upper Valley who are in need, but who are without the means to pay. GNHC depends upon community support, and is a member of VCCU (Vermont Coalition of Clinics for the Uninsured).
About our Clinics
The Good Neighbor Health Clinic (GNHC) in White River Junction was established to ensure quality medical care is available to all those in the Upper Valley in need, without the means to pay. In August 1996, we opened the Red Logan Dental Clinic in response to the increasing need for dental care.
Hours: Office hours for the clinics in White River Junction are Monday - Friday 9 - 5. During working hours, GNHC staff will answer questions and schedule appointments for clinics held either during the day or evening hours for both the White River, Vermont and for the Enfield, New Hampshire clinic (get directions).
Location: The main medical and dental clinics are located at 70 North Main Street in White River Junction, Vermont in the historic building formerly housing the Gates Memorial Library. There is also a satellite medical clinic in Canaan, New Hampshire (get directions).
Phone: To schedule an appointment call (802) 295-1868 with the medical clinic or (802) 295-7573 with the dental clinic.
