Chiricahua Community Health Centers Widens Outreach in Arizona

In rural Arizona’s Cochise County, Chiricahua Community Health Centers provides essential healthcare to approximately 35,000 patients annually, many of whom are uninsured or face financial hardship. Through Global Ministries’ This Moment Matters grant, the network can address patients’ broader social needs, including nutrition, housing and other necessities. Care Coordinators connect families with community resources, while mobile clinics bring services to underserved areas. Despite shortages of healthcare professionals, transportation barriers and limited internet access, Chiricahua continues to ensure that vulnerable families receive compassionate, comprehensive care.
