Norwalk Community Health Center, Inc. (NCHC) is accepting new patients for its new state of the art Dental Suite. After celebrating the opening of its pediatric and adult Dental Suite with patients, staff, friends and supporters, members of the business community, and Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, Congressman Jim Himes, State Senator Bob Duff, and Mayor Harry Rilling, NCHC’s dental team welcomed its first patient on April 27.
