The Mission of the Community Health Association of Spokane
To improve the overall health of the greater Spokane community by expanding the availability of quality health services, dental care, and wellness education.
"We at CHAS believe that everyone has a right to high-quality health care regardless of ability to pay. We believe it is a basic human right, not a privilege, that all people have access to quality health care."
Filling the Gap for a Healthier Spokane
Currently, eight out of ten of the 44 million people in the U.S. who lack health insurance come from working families. Health care premiums have gone up more than three times faster than average wages. An ever growing gap exists between those who have health insurance and those who don't, and between those who fear losing coverage and those who have too little.
The gap is a national problem that needs a national solution. In the meantime, CHAS is thinking nationally and acting locally by working everyday to fill the healthcare gap for the people of the greater Spokane area. It is the mission of CHAS to fill this gap for as many people as possible.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has"—Margaret Mead
