“I can’t really explain it. It’s the culture here that makes ACHS such a great place to work.
These aren’t just my co-workers, they’re my family!”

We’re all about providing the best care – for our patients and our employees

ACHS fosters a climate of warmth, friendliness, and kindness. Here you’ll find a culture more of a big extended family than a typical business organization. We’ll support your ideas and encourage you to “think out of the box”. It’s this innovative thinking that has made us one of the few Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) nationally to achieve quality awards year after year.

As a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) we focus on outcomes and integrated community care that combines primary care, behavioral health, oral health, chronic disease management, and clinical pharmacy services. We deliver care to over 10,000 patients of the 26 towns in southern Coos County and northern Grafton counties. ACHS has 6 sites: Littleton (Clinic, Administrative Offices), Dental & Oral Health Center Littleton, Franconia, Warren, Whitefield, and Woodsville.

Our location in the beautiful White Mountain National Forest area of New Hampshire offers incredible natural beauty throughout the seasons and is an outdoor enthusiast’s dreamland. The slower pace of life in this rural area supports a healthy work-life balance, but its location is still only 2.5 hours from Boston, even closer to Montreal, Burlington, VT and the coast of Maine

ACHS is on a mission to put the “care” back in health care. If you are interested in making a real and lasting difference in the lives of others and the community, ACHS may be the place for you.
