Mission:

Caring for patients, building healthy communities.

Vision:

Health for ALL.

About Us:

Since 1996, Chiricahua Community Health Centers, Inc. (CCHCI) has been committed to serving the diverse communities of rural Cochise County in southeastern Arizona. Covering an area the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, including one hundred miles along the U.S./Mexico border, Chiricahua is the region’s only nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center.

We provide a broad range of preventative and primary care services to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. Our comprehensive care model includes medical, behavioral health, dental, and outreach services. These services are delivered with a culturally sensitive approach, ensuring that every aspect of our patients’ well-being is addressed.

While we strive to be the provider of choice for everyone in our communities, we also offer a sliding-fee scale to guarantee access for uninsured, underinsured, veterans, migrant farm workers, and low-income residents.

CCHCI operates clinics in Sierra Vista, Benson, Bisbee, Douglas, and Elfrida, and we extend care throughout the county—including Willcox—via Mobile Medical and Dental Units. As Cochise County’s largest primary care provider, we are dedicated to ensuring quality healthcare for all.
