The mission of CCHCI is founded on the absolute certainly that all individuals are worthwhile and important, regardless of their ability to pay, their background, their beliefs, their identification, or their path. Healthcare for all means my purpose every day is to try to make each person's experience a little easier in whatever way I am able. This positive and nurturing effect is compounded because every person who works at CCHCI is invested in this same principle to build a healthcare system around a community so that we are only doing well when our community is doing well.

The mission of CCHCI aligns with my own goal of ensuring that all children in my community have access to healthcare and the ability to form habits that will lead to a full, healthy life! Every child deserves a chance, and CCHCI makes sure every child gets one. The part of our mission that speaks to me most is the statement about “building healthy communities”. True health and wellness reaches far beyond the physical body. Strong communities support healthy children! As a healthcare provider I believe that it is my duty to be an engaged member of my community and use my voice to advocate for my patients. I am excited to be a part of a team that strives to bring high-quality, comprehensive care to everyone in Cochise County regardless of their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or ability to pay.

I believe in health for all because I feel like it is a universal right for every individual. Every individual in any country should be able to receive adequate health care for all their needs: physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual which makes us whole. Health care should focus on the whole person as everything is interrelated. I believe preventive care is the key to helping our communities. The CCHCI mission of building healthy communities is important to me because we all depend on one another, it’s all about the human connection with others. By making sure that we are focused on building healthy communities, we are also taking care of one another.
