Our mission is: “To provide the highest quality health care with compassionate and accessible service for all.”

Community Health Care is a private, non-profit organization created in 1987 when the clinical system moved from the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department after several years of operation by that organization. The total history of the clinic system dates to 1969 when local physicians and concerned citizens, recognizing the problems of access to quality health care for the county's low-income and uninsured residents, established two volunteer clinics to help fill that void. This organization currently operates six Medical, four Dental and four Pharmacy's clinics. CHC also has MSS and Behavioral Health Services at all sites. This health center is a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, and a deemed Public Health Service employee under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n) Community Health Care is an FTCA Deemed facility
