US Healthcare Resources

The U.S. healthcare system can be confusing, especially if you are new to this country. We made these simple guides to help you understand how care works, what will happen, and where to go when you need help. We want to make getting care easier, so you can feel comfortable and supported.

The topics below cover the main things you should know about healthcare in the U.S. If you have more questions, please talk with your primary care provider.

*Please note: We are still adding new information to this page and will update it often.

Primary Care is your home for healthcare. When you choose a primary care provider, or a "PCP" you get a team that's focused on you and your overall health. And at CHA, you get this care in your preferred language.
