CommunityHealth, founded in 1993, is one of the largest volunteer-based free health centers in the nation. We deliver integrated, high-quality, customized care at no charge to low-income, uninsured adults in need of a medical home.

Your support enables CommunityHealth to provide primary and specialty care, dental care, prescription medications, lab testing, mental health services, and Health Education classes for free. For every $1.00 donated, we provide an average of $7.00 worth of health care services and medications. Access to primary and specialty care is critical for preventing and managing chronic illnesses, and preventing emergencies.

The Run for Health is sponsored by Americans Against Language Barriers, Los Comales, Penguin Foot Pottery, EmVenio Research, and Gift of Hope.
