We define a health initiative as an organization committed to:

• Employing an innovative vision and new strategies for delivering needed care and services
• Measuring and documenting the value of its strategies
• Sustaining its efforts after CHF funding has ended

Over the years, our most valuable initiatives deliver health care services that improve and maintain the health status of uninsured, underinsured, and underserved people in central and east Contra Costa County. Our current work is aimed at creating similarly enduring initiatives.
