We partner with you and your other providers to tailor care to your needs, building relationships based on respect, trust, confidence, and care.

Awards and Recognition
Our Roots
WCHC began as a grassroots movement by members of the Conowingo Lions Club. Their belief that our neighbors in Cecil County, Harford County, and southern Pennsylvania deserve access to comprehensive healthcare without traveling great distances drew support from the Cecil County Health Department, Union Hospital (now ChristianaCare Union Hospital) and former Delegate David Rudolph.
