Mission
We are the Coalition of Orange County Community Health Centers, a non-profit organization founded in 1974, and designed to support and strengthen Orange County’s network of licensed community clinics. As the only membership organization for Community Health Centers in Orange County, our team supports the need of our members through service, education, advocacy, and resources so that they can effectively serve the diverse, multicultural populations. The Coalition of Orange County Community Health Centers is a membership organization that represents the interests of the health centers that serve our community’s most vulnerable patients—those who are either uninsured or underinsured—and face disproportionate risks due to structural racism and discrimination. As an organization, we have been engaged in the work of building a healthier Orange County for nearly a decade. We believe that for our community to thrive, everyone must have equitable access to quality, affordable healthcare regardless of income, ethnicity or immigration status. We provide services that help Orange County’s community health centers make that vision a reality and provide the best care possible to their patients.
