Today is 𝑮𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚, a global day of giving where we are reminded that kindness still matters in this world.

2025 was a difficult year.

We saw people lose benefits and struggle to pay their rent. CHWC stepped in with gift cards and rent assistance. We saw individuals come to our health centers in need of healthcare, but uninsured. CHWC stepped in and provided services regardless of their ability to pay.

Today we encourage you to make a donation in the spirit of Giving Tuesday, to help support our mission of keeping our communities healthy by delivering compassionate, high-quality care in a patient-centered environment.

Your gift, no matter the size, helps support our mission and provide care to those most in need in your communities.
