Henrietta Johnson Medical Center (HJMC) is part of a national network of federally funded Community Health  Centers (CHCs) delivering quality, comprehensive health services to America's medically under served communities.

In an era of escalating health care costs, CHCs like HJMC have been recognized as cost effective and a necessary alternative to emergency room primary health care services for the lower income family.

HJMC is committed to a multi cultural approach in delivery of services. We are sensitive to the needs of all our client populations in the community. Providing quality health service, while helping patients to maintain their human dignity, is paramount to us.

Henrietta Johnson Medical Center has been "Helping, Healing and Caring" in the Wilmington community for the past 30 years. The center traces its origins  to  1968,  when  a group  of  concerned citizens organized  the Southbridge Medical Advisory Council, Inc. (S.M.A.C.) to provide medical services to the Southbridge area of the city.

At its inception in 1970, medical services were provided in a converted residential dwelling and trailer staffed by volunteer  physicians, pharmacists and one paid staff member. Due to an increased patient load and the need to provide a wider range of medical services, the center moved to its present location in 1980.

HJMC offers health care convenience for the entire family in one place. The professional staff and physicians work together to address several categories of health problems found in the population we serve, such as; preventable diseases in which immunizations are available to both children and adults; diseases that can be prevented by controlling risk factors e.g. treating hypertension and stopping smoking; diseases where early detection can prevent morbidity or mortality e.g. breast cancer and mammography, cervical cancer and pap smears; diseases where immediate diagnosis and treatment can be life saving e.g. cardiac arrest and acute heart attack; and, diseases where prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent morbidity or mortality e.g. fractures, ear infections.

In January 1999, Henrietta Johnson Medical Center opened a second office at the Riverside Medical Arts Complex, located in the Northeast section of Wilmington. The Riverside office offers all of the medical services provided at the Southbridge location.

As part of our commitment to ensure the continuity of patient care services, our physicians are on call 24 hours a day.

Pharmacy and laboratory services are available on site to HJMC patients.  The services complement the physician services and are offered at affordable discounted rates for those that qualify.
