When representatives of neighborhood groups, health care providers and civic leaders began to convene in the early 1990s to address the lack of health care resources in Northwest Pasadena, founders were confident that the bold vision of a medical facility that was affordable and accessible to our community’s least advantaged residents would become a thriving reality.
On a January day in 1998, CHAP welcomed its first patient. Since then CHAP’s medical and dental providers have delivered more than 150,000 visits to well over 15,000 children and adults.
On Saturday, January 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., CHAP will celebrate its Tenth Birthday with a gathering of friends and supporters to reminisce about the old times and envision the future of CHAP. We will offer tours of the clinic and rededicate the newly renovated facility for its next decade of service to the community. Invited guests include political leaders, supporting organizations, former and current board members and patients.
The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Ellen Johnson, (626) 398-6300 ext. 21, or ejohnson@chapcare.org. We look forward to sharing with you our past achievements and future plans.
