We are helping the working uninsured

Our Mission

The Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic is a non-profit organization that provides quality outpatient health care
for the eligible working uninsured and develops and provides programs to address community health care needs through
collaborative partnerships.

The primary goal of this effort is to make basic health care services accessible to lower income working Lafayette
Parish residents so that they will remain healthy enough to maintain their jobs, their homes, and their
independence.
Why the Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic?

• Workers are able to maintain their health so they can stay employed
• Area employers have a healthy, dependable workforce with which to run their business
• New Business owners can pursue their dream of business ownership without delays caused by unattended
  health issues, or using much-needed capital dollars to purchase often-unaffordable health insurance
• Local economic development agencies have a viable lure to attract businesses to the area
• Economic benefits for all by treating the uninsured in the most cost-effective manner available-at a
  lower cost than providing basic care through hospital emergency rooms or government-run programs

Your donation makes it possible to continue delivering high-quality healthcare to our working uninsured neighbors.
