Most of its services are free of charge and open to the general

Chinese-language media campaigns, conducting health fairs,
initiating and serving on coalitions to address important
community health needs, and pioneering community-based research
to study these problems and test solutions. CCHRC provides
approximately 10,000 services annually, with about 90% of
the recipients being monolingual; over 65% female; 30% Medicaid
(known as Medi-Cal in California) recipients, and approximately
15% with no insurance coverage.
With support from its sponsors, local health/social services
agencies, and community members, the Chinese Community Health
Resource Center will continue to provide excellent culturally
and linguistically competent services to the San Francisco
Bay Area.
