What Others Are Saying
“A community is not healthy if its children are not healthy. More than half of the uninsured people in Jackson County are children. Community Health Center has been there for them for 30 years; now it is our turn to be there for Community Health Center. They need our financial support to continue to provide basic health care to this growing population. Please join us and do your part to keep our community healthy by making a donation to Community Health Center.”
Chuck Wright
Former Chief Executive
Providence Health System, Southern Oregon
Greg Walden
“For thirty years Community Health Center has promoted the health of people in Jackson County who fall through the cracks, by providing primary and preventative healthcare services. There are nearly 25,000 men, women and children in Jackson County who have no basic health insurance protection. Community Health Center prudently leverages community resources to return substantial dividends in terms of lives changed and the restored health of our community. Your support can make a difference right here at home.”
Congressman Greg Walden
“Community Health Center needs your support! With nearly 23,000 patient visits in Medford, Ashland, and White City, the Center serves as a vital safety net meeting the health care needs of those who cannot otherwise afford it. Without Community Health Center, hospital emergency departments would become a bigger source for primary care, driving up health care costs even more. Please join us in helping them.”
Roy Vinyard
President and CEO Asante Health System
“The need for basic primary and preventative health care services is enormous. Community Health Center’s patient load has virtually doubled in the past five years, and the demand for services continues to rise as the economy in Southern Oregon fluctuates…We all benefit from a community of healthy men, women and children. I hope the community will help by contributing now!”
Judy Uherbelau
Community Board Member
“Community Health Center provides health care to the citizens of Jackson County who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Too many hard working Oregon families earn too much to qualify for the Oregon Health Plan but receive no health coverage through their place of employment. Community Health Center steps up to the plate by offering essential health care for working families, including primary, preventative and pre-natal health care. Your support will do wonders for the health of Jackson County!”
Senator Ron Wyden
“As Administrator of Ashland Community Hospital, I cannot emphasize enough how crucial Community Health Center is to the overall health of our community. With sky-rocketing health insurance premiums with an uncertain economy, and with our growing population, Community Health Center’s role in providing healthcare to community members in need is greater than it has ever been. Over 7,000 patients were treated last year by our clinics, and this number will rise in the upcoming months and years. The “hole” that our Community Health Center fills in the current delivery system is a key factor in the entire fabric of our community. I am proud to say that our hospital joins others in supporting our Community Health Center, and I encourage you to support their mission as well.”
Jim Watson
Former Ashland Hospital Administrator
“As a volunteer at Community Health Center since 1995, I have come to view them as one of the most creative groups of compassionate caregivers I have ever known. It is a pleasure to work with them on a daily basis and it is an honor to serve as a member of their board. I urge each of you to join me in making a generous contribution to Community Health Center today.”
