Our Mission 
CHEC is committed to
Community-driven, culturally-appropriate approaches to safer and healthier communities.

About CHEC

CHEC was formed in 1995. We work with community-based organizations such as school-based clinics and peer mentoring programs, municipal entities such as city health departments and state agencies providing services to children and families, and national not-for profits such as a national network of clinicians providing health care to migrant farmworkers.

We stay "close to the ground" by listening to front-line workers whose experience will determine the success of a policy, strategy, or project. We assist our diverse clientele in development of appropriate educational and promotional materials, their agency strategic planning processes, and evaluation of service delivery.
