Community Health Advocate Members Program (C.H.A.M.P.)

This program offers community service opportunities by availing internships for local college and university students residing within our service area. Traditionally, communities of color have been marginalized, receiving inadequate health care and lacking viable resources. This program's design addresses such issues while fostering community engagement, serving to increase health literacy,  access, and connections to culturally competent safety-net resources.
