    • About us

    Proud

    TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY

    Welcome to Universal Primary Care

    Welcome to Universal Primary Care (Southern Tier Community Health Center Network). Thank you for considering us. At Universal Primary Care we genuinely care about you and your family!
    Formally referred to as Southern Tier Community Health Center Network, to our community we are known as Universal Primary Care. As the only Federally Qualified Health Center in Cattaraugus, Allegany and McKean counties, we strive to provide high quality, primary care to all patients regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. We also take great pride in offering these services through a designated Health Center model. Two names, one purpose: To offer every patient that best care possible.
    Our “family” of practitioners, nurses, receptionists, billing and back office staff focuses daily on how to create a model of care that respects you, provides you great care and is compassionate and fair. It’s important to feel safe and confident when accessing health care. To feel good, stay healthy and be able to financially afford good care strikes at our most basic needs. That’s why we do what we do. Inside our walls, you will find a staff dedicated to mission, an organization committed to providing culturally sensitive, compassionate care and a model that attempts to meet you – the patient – where you are and help you navigate the complex world of health care.

    What we stand for

    ACCESS

    The mission of Universal Primary Care is to provide excellent community health care to all who need our services without regard to the ability to pay.

    It is our strongest belief that we are a part of the communities we serve. With sites in Olean, Cuba, Salamanca and Houghton, NY, as well as our new site in Bradford, PA we want to be more than a doctor’s office. We want to be your community health center. That means within our walls, we will not only provide you with great care, educational opportunities to self-manage your health status and access to a wide variety of social services but, we also want to be active in those communities we are lucky to serve. We get involved in projects that mean a healthier built environment for all of us.
