Community HealthCare Resources (CHR) was founded in 2019 with a mission to expand access to free healthcare services for those in need. Recognizing the limitations of traditional brick-and-mortar community health centers, CHR was established to create a more scalable and far-reaching model of care.
​
Beyond improving patient access, CHR was also designed to support conventional alternative medicine (C.A.M.) healthcare providers. Recognizing the financial burden many C.A.M. providers face—often carrying student debt comparable to their medical industry counterparts while earning significantly less—CHR offers a pathway to student debt reduction.
Through CHR, clinicians can dedicate 30 hours per week to the nonprofit, contributing their labor, clinic space, equipment, overhead, time, and expertise to provide preventative health education, and care to the public. Clinicians also have the job of fundraising to cooperatively help fund the programing of the organization. This is a job for clinicians and operates as an equal debt exchange reduction model, not a loan forgiveness program. By structuring the program this way, CHR delivers high-quality care and education at a fraction of the cost compared to organizations that operate standalone clinics.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, CHR is committed to delivering high-impact, cost-effective healthcare solutions. Through strategic partnerships and innovative service models, we strive to broaden the reach of essential health care while empowering the CAM professionals who provide it.
​
CHR is governed by a board consisting of 11 members from both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds. This diverse leadership team ensures a well-rounded perspective in decision-making, allowing CHR to effectively address the needs of both patients and healthcare providers.
