Our sister organization, CCHN operates a number of programs that allow uninsured patients, who do not qualify for other sources of funding, to gain access to certain diagnostic and treatment services. Currently, CCHN is managing funding for breast cancer diagnostic, oral health, and mental health services, as well as specialty care treatment services for individuals with HIV & AIDS. All funds are accessed through participating community health centers.
