How We Impact the Community

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. We help individuals of all ages, from babies to young adults to seniors, with accessing health insurance coverage and the health care services they need. This past year, we assisted over 27,000 individuals in Napa County.

By conducting outreach to the most vulnerable populations, we are able to connect with those individuals who do not have health insurance or may not have the best coverage for their situation. We then assist them with the application process and ensure they are enrolled. Once they have insurance coverage, we ensure they have a personal doctor and are able to receive the medical services they need.

We provide outreach and information at Napa Valley College and through the school district in order to educate the younger generation, and their parents, on the importance of having health insurance in order to be healthy and stay healthy.

Testimonial

While snowboarding with friends, I crashed and broke my ankle. I needed surgery but I had no health insurance. CHI helped me apply for coverage and had the application expedited due to the urgency of my situation. I was so thankful for their help. I’ll never go without insurance again!
