Community HealthCare Resources (CHR) is a nonprofit cooperative healthcare organization that establishes and oversees formal public service roles for licensed clinicians. Through structured governance, ethical oversight, and standardized documentation, CHR ensures that care, education, and community engagement are delivered in alignment with nonprofit healthcare principles.

Within this framework, clinicians contribute to community-anchored healthcare by providing services and education to individuals with demonstrated need, while participating in a recognized system of public service that aligns with federal programs such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).

CHR operates as an institutional infrastructure for accountability, access to care, and sustained public health service—not as a program or short-term initiative.
Community HealthCare Resources (CHR) operates through a coordinated workforce that includes both licensed clinicians and non-clinical contributors, each serving a defined role within a structured public service framework.

Licensed clinicians participate in the delivery of community-based care and health education under formal nonprofit oversight, with responsibilities that include service delivery, documentation, and support of organizational sustainability through fundraising.

Non-clinical team members contribute to the operational continuity of CHR by supporting outreach, recruitment, and funding development efforts that sustain access to care within the communities served.

Together, these roles function within a unified system of accountability, ensuring that healthcare services, education, and access initiatives are consistently delivered as part of an organized and recognized public service effort.
Yes, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, donations to CHR are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. For specific tax advice or if you have questions about the deduction process, we recommend consulting with a tax professional.

Yes. Participation in CHR’s public service framework requires that individuals are licensed clinicians actively working within a clinical setting.

Clinicians must maintain an average of at least 30 hours per week in a clinical environment. This includes not only direct patient care, but also administrative, documentation, and care-related responsibilities performed within the practice.

This standard ensures that all services delivered through CHR are grounded in consistent, accountable, and community-based clinical engagement.
Fundraising within CHR is a structured component of its nonprofit operations and supports the continuity of community-based healthcare services. Individuals serving in this role are responsible for contributing to and advancing funding efforts that sustain access to care, health education, and the organization’s public service activities.

This includes engaging with individuals, businesses, and community networks to support the organization’s mission, while ensuring that all contributions remain voluntary and aligned with nonprofit standards.

Fundraising is not a transactional exchange for services, but a coordinated effort that enables CHR to maintain its infrastructure, uphold accountability, and continue delivering care and education to those with demonstrated need.
How is care provided, recorded, and tracked?

All care delivered within CHR is performed in a clinical setting under licensed supervision and in alignment with established standards of care. Each service is formally documented using appropriate clinical coding (including CPT codes) and assigned a corresponding value to ensure accurate representation of services provided.

Clinicians are trained during onboarding in CHR’s standardized documentation and reporting protocols, which are designed to support consistency, transparency, and audit readiness.

Care records are compiled and submitted on a monthly basis, with reporting due by the 15th of each month. This structured process ensures that all services are verifiable, accountable, and maintained in accordance with nonprofit and regulatory expectations.
Participation in CHR requires a consistent commitment aligned with recognized standards for full-time public service. Clinicians are expected to contribute a minimum average of 30 hours per week within a clinical setting.

This includes not only direct patient care, but also time dedicated to documentation, care coordination, patient education, and other clinical responsibilities performed within the practice.

This structured time commitment ensures continuity of care, accountability in service delivery, and alignment with established expectations for sustained public service.
