Become a Community Health Care Champion

Doctor, woman and baby

The Community Health Care Association of New York State champions community-centered health care for 1 in every 9 New Yorkers - that's 2.3 million mothers, fathers, children, and seniors who count on these centers to stay healthy. Community health centers are the lifeblood of healthcare for so many New Yorkers, offering critical services like primary care, dental, and behavioral health, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

Your support enables CHCANYS to provide advocacy, emergency services, training, and education services for our statewide network of community health centers that are not funded by grants. We work to ensure these health centers get the resources they need to serve our neighbors by advocating for policies that protect access to care.

 

Donations can be earmarked as follows:

  • Programming – Supports advocacy policy efforts and program support.
  • Capacity Building – Unrestricted funds for Live Learning Platforms &
    Communications.
  • Scholarship Support – Supports CHCANYS’ Scholarship Fund to
    provide educational opportunities.

 

CHCANYS’ work to ensure access to care for underserved communities and to address health care disparities throughout New York State is more critical than ever as we emerge from the Coronavirus pandemic and the disproportionate impact it has had on communities of color. We are working every day to address racial disparities and secure community-based primary care for all of New York’s residents.

As New York State’s only Primary Care Association, CHCANYS needs your help to ensure our critical work providing community health centers the training, technical assistance, and support they need continues. With your support, we can continue to be a strong Association. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will help us to have a positive impact in New York’s hardest hit communities, providing community health centers with the expert guidance they need to help them navigate challenges, so they can focus on what they do best – healing New York.

Thank you for being a Champion of CHCANYS’ work and playing an essential role in healing New York!
