Chesapeake Health Care

Chesapeake Health Care, previously known as Three Lower Counties Community Services (TLCCS), is a well-established Community health center dedicated to providing accessible and affordable healthcare services across the three lower counties of Maryland's Eastern Shore: Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester. Founded in 1994, the organization has grown significantly, expanding its services to meet the diverse needs of the community. Their comprehensive offerings include a wide array of medical specialties such as adult and family medicine, pediatrics, mental health services (including counseling and medication management for adults and children), and dental care (for children and expectant mothers). A significant focus is also placed on women's health, with robust Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) services, including prenatal care, sonograms/ultrasounds, maternal-fetal medicine, and urogynecology. They also operate pharmacy services in Princess Anne and Salisbury. Chesapeake Health Care operates multiple locations, ensuring broad accessibility for residents. The Salisbury, MD location at 223 Phillip Morris Dr (though current information indicates their main OB/GYN facility is at 1647 Woodbrooke Drive) is a key site. Dr. Kelli R. Luttrell, a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), specializes in Gynecology and Obstetrics and practices at their Salisbury location, specifically at 1647 Woodbrooke Drive. She is associated with TidalHealth as well. The organization's mission centers on delivering culturally competent, patient- and family-centered healthcare, striving to eliminate barriers to care. They are a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b and a deemed Public Health Services employee, providing them with Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status for certain health-related claims, including medical malpractice. This status underlines their commitment to high standards of care and patient safety. Chesapeake Health Care accepts various payment methods, including Medical Assistance (Medicaid, MA), Medicare, private insurance, and offers a sliding fee scale to ensure services are available to all, regardless of their ability to pay. They also work in collaboration with other organizations to provide holistic care and expand their reach within the community.
