When it comes to keeping your family healthy, choosing the right medical provider matters. Established more than 30 years ago, Chesapeake Health Care has become a trusted source of comprehensive, high-quality care for individuals and families across Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore. Whether you’re looking for a primary care doctor, pediatrician, dentist, OB/GYN, therapist, or pharmacy services under one roof, our team is here to support your health at every age and stage of life.
Here’s a closer look at who we are, what we offer, and why so many families choose Chesapeake Health Care as their medical home.
Introduction to Chesapeake Health Care
Chesapeake Health Care is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) dedicated to providing integrated, patient-centered care to our community. With multiple locations across Salisbury, Berlin, Princess Anne, and Pocomoke, we deliver convenient access to medical, pediatric, dental, behavioral health, obstetrics/gynecology, pharmacy services — and even school-based care for kids and teens.
Our mission is simple: provide high-quality, affordable care to every person who walks through our doors, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
Understanding Community Health Center Services
As a community health center, our approach focuses on whole-person care. We offer more than traditional doctor’s visits. Our services are designed to make healthcare accessible, efficient, and fully connected.
Patients benefit from:
-
A team of primary and specialty providers
-
Coordinated care between departments
-
On-site support like labs, behavioral health, and pharmacy
-
Preventive care and chronic disease management
-
Affordable options for the uninsured or underinsured
By keeping services under one umbrella, we streamline care and improve outcomes.
Integrated Primary Care at Chesapeake Health Care
Our primary care providers offer a full range of services, from routine checkups to chronic disease management. We emphasize prevention, early diagnosis, and long-term patient relationships.
Because we operate as an integrated care system, your provider can easily connect with your dentist, OB/GYN, behavioral health clinician, or pharmacist to ensure your treatment plan is coordinated and comprehensive.
Specialized Services: Pediatrics, OB/GYN, and Dental Care
Pediatric Care Explained
Our pediatric teams provide compassionate, family-centered care for infants, children, and teens. Families count on us for:

-
Sports and school physicals
To expand access for local students, we also operate School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) at select elementary, middle, and high schools. These centers allow students to receive medical and behavioral health services during the school day — reducing time away from class and helping families avoid unnecessary absences or travel. From illness visits to preventive care, our SBHCs help bridge gaps in access and support healthier school communities.
