Community Health Initiative (CHI)

Our mission is to improve the health of children, families and seniors by providing access to care through health insurance enrollment, patient education and advocacy. Each year, we directly serve approximately 4,000 individuals who live or work in Napa County with their health insurance and care needs through outreach by our staff and through in-office appointments. We help residents obtain healthcare plans by removing barriers to access such as translation confusion, immigration concerns, and/ or lack of awareness of available programs.

Our staff members are bicultural, bilingual experts in the complexities of Medi Cal, Covered California, and Medicare, and have protocols in place to serve vulnerable populations who rely on us to provide calm, clear information that simplifies the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. With your support, our work not only changes lives – it saves lives.
