Eastern Shore Rural Health System, Inc. (ESRHS) is a federally qualified community health center organization. Formed in 1976 by a group of visionaries looking to improve healthcare on the Eastern Shore, we have grown over the past 31 years to become the medical provider of choice for over half the members in our community. We believe that it is every person's right to recieve quality, affordable health care and we are driven by that unifying concept.

Where to Find Us

ESRHS has five medical centers strategically located along the Shore from Chincoteague Island to Cape Charles. Our hours of operation include late night hours at each of our five centers and Saturday hours year-round at Onley Community Health Center and seasonally at Chincoteague Island Community Health Center. Dental services for all ages are offered at the F ranktown Community Health Center and for children at Metompkin and Pungoteague Elementary Schools.

What We Do

ESRHS provides medical and dental care to residents of all ages. The 10th largest employeer on the Shore, ESRHS has a staff of 25 medical providers, 3 dentists and 140 support staff. Our centers are equipped with emergency/urgent care treatment rooms, labs and 3 centers offer x-rays. ESRHS remains certified by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.

ESRHS accepts most major medical and dental insurances. A sliding fee scale is available to patients without insurance coverage or who are underinsured.

In addition to providing primary medical and dental care, as "more than just a doctor's office", ESRHS offers pharmacy assistance, health education, and interpretation services at all our centers, at no cost to our patients. We continue to partner with Accomack County Public Schools to offer dental services on the campuses of two elementary schools. ESRHS was selected by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel (CBBT) Commission to administer a medical toll program, which allows low-income residents with medical referrals free travel to the Hampton Roads area. Click on the "Current Programs" and "Fast Facts" links on the left for more information about our programs and services.

As of February 1, 2008, ESRHS began using a new computer system. This will lead into our electronic health records, which we will continue to implement throughout the spring and summer. Please be patient with our staff, as we may ask you for additional information during your visit. This may increase your wait time for the next several weeks, but we are working hard to ensure all the information we have on-file for you is correct. The new e-health system will have many benefits, including allowing our providers to access your electronic medical chart from any of our 5 centers. It will increase patient safety and quality of care by improving medication management, communication with other medical facilities and fulfilling our federal and state regulatory requirements.

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our service for you!
