A story of love, community, and the belief that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare.
Kevin's Community Center, Inc. (KCC) was founded in 2002 as a tax-exempt, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization by Dr. and Mrs. Z. Michael Taweh, in loving memory of their son Kevin — to address the health care crisis in Connecticut for uninsured and underinsured adult residents of Newtown, Bridgewater and Roxbury.
Dr. Taweh led a community-wide, grassroots effort involving state and municipal government and the business, medical, financial, nonprofit and religious sectors — and the citizens who had a stake in the well-being of their community.
To date, KCC has provided more than 5,000 patient visits and delivered more than $2,500,000 in free medical care, including specialty care referrals.

The mission of Kevin's Community Center is to provide free health care to persons over the age of 18 who are uninsured or underinsured and have limited financial resources.
KCC's Medical Outreach Programs encompass educational and community programs, in addition to referrals to medical services and specialty care to network providers in our community.
We assist you with finding the right care for your needs — connecting you with the resources and physicians best suited to support your health journey.
In January 2017, after 15 years of steady fundraising, KCC moved into its newly-acquired medical building at 25 Commerce Road, Newtown, CT — where a modern clinic space was constructed to expand and deepen offerings to patients and strengthen collaboration with the wellness community.
The facility includes modern exam rooms, a community medical resource library open to all residents, space for partner nonprofits, and a small nondenominational chapel.
