Chandler Children's Medical Clinic bring crucial care close to home for kids
The Dignity Health Children’s Medical Clinic opened in September 2022 at the Chandler CARE Center, a multidisciplinary facility located in one of the most underserved areas of Chandler. Dignity Health has four licensed services at the center that support vulnerable youth including immunizations, hearing and vision screening, a dental clinic, and now the Children’s Medical Clinic.
Thanks to donor support, the Children’s Medical Clinic has been able to:
- Conduct 649 patient appointments. The children served are a representation of the most vulnerable in our community, which includes refugees, immigrants, and families in poverty. The families are diverse in ethnicity, religion, and backgrounds.
- Deliver pro bono healthcare services through well visits, sports physicals, and sick visits.
- Care for children each month who require urgent diagnostics or care. Many families living in poverty do not have the means for healthcare and often delay care, or are not even aware their child has a serious condition.
To continue this important work and meet the growing health care needs of our community we are seeking funds to:
- Cover the costs of specialty care. We regularly identify children with unique or acute needs and most families seen at the medical clinic lack the funds to pay for these treatments.
- Expand clinic hours to see more families in need of these vital services.
- Forge stronger partnerships to ensure the whole health of our patients are addressed. Our current social services include a food bank, behavioral health counseling, WIC, and Family Resource Center.
Join others in our community standing with us in our mission to create a healthier and more equitable future for all. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of individuals and families who rely on us for their health care needs.
