Lch's clients face several barriers to good health, including lack of health insurance, language barriers, poverty, low education, and lack of transportation in this largely rural part of chester county. Our bilingual staff work with clients to determine their range of needs and refer them both to inhouse lch services and to services provided by other agencies in our community. The lch caseworkers assist with medicaid, medicare and private insurance applications, transportation, interpretation, referral appointment scheduling, and service agency connections.
