The Community Health Access Initiative (CHAI) believes healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. Through our unique model of shared responsibility, we ensure that everyone in our community has access to the healthcare they need.
Our Mission
To ensure that no one in our community has to choose between their health and financial stability. We believe healthcare is a fundamental right, and we work tirelessly to break down barriers that prevent access to vital medical services.
Our Vision
A community where healthcare access is not determined by financial means, but by need. We envision a future where neighbors help neighbors, creating a powerful safety net that ensures everyone receives the care they deserve.
How CHAI Works
Our innovative funding model is built on shared responsibility and community support. Here's how we make healthcare accessible:
Clinic Contribution
5-10% of our clinic's income goes directly to a dedicated fund for patients experiencing financial hardship.
Community Donations
100% of community donations go directly to helping neighbors access healthcare services they couldn't otherwise afford.
Safety Net
Together, these funding sources create a powerful safety net ensuring no one falls through the cracks.
Full Transparency
We provide complete transparency about how funds are used, with regular updates and impact reports.
