Project Access of Durham County

Community Health Coalition (CHC) is a non-profit organization based in Durham, NC, dedicated to achieving health equity for all individuals, regardless of race or socioeconomic status. Since its establishment in 1989, CHC has brought together leaders and professionals from various fields, including medicine, education, mental health, faith organizations, law, finance, the military, and social advocacy, to address health issues and barriers in the community. Their focus areas include raising awareness about diseases, decreasing obesity among minorities, educating the community on tobacco and substance abuse dangers, and improving mental health services. Under the leadership of Dr. Ruth Gilliam Phillips, the Executive Director, and with the guidance of co-founder Dr. Elaine Hart-Brothers, CHC strives to create a society where everyone can live healthy, active, and purpose-driven lives. Driven by their motto of choosing L.I.F.E. (Listen, Investigate, Follow-up, Engage), CHC aims to educate and treat the entire community, including disadvantaged and underserved populations, through programs, partnerships, and collaborations with national organizations and local stakeholders.Generated from the website
