Your gift keeps care within reach for 54,500 neighbors

When Pierce County Hospital closed in 1968, uninsured and low-income residents lost their place to get care. Community leaders came together, and Community Health Care was born.

Our promise

At Community Health Care, no one is denied care because they can’t pay. Patients without insurance, or without enough, receive care on a sliding fee scale based on income and family size.

Our mission: “To provide the highest quality healthcare with compassionate and accessible service for all.”

By the numbers
  • 54,500 patients served in Pierce County in 2025
  • 47% at or below the federal poverty level
  • No one turned away for inability to pay
