The Pink Shamrock Foundation and the CHAS Clinic

CHAS Health is a non-profit, federally qualified health center (FQHC) that provides comprehensive medical, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health services to families and individuals of all ages. Established in 1994, CHAS Health has grown significantly over the past two decades, with a mission to remove barriers to care and provide high-quality, evidence-based care to communities in the Inland Northwest.

In 2020, CHAS Health served over 90,461 patients across Spokane County, the Latah Community, and the Lewis-Clark Valley, with plans to continue growing and bringing new jobs to the local economy while providing healthcare services to even more people in the area.

One of CHAS Health's facilities, the Denny Murphy Clinic, has been serving the downtown Spokane community since 1995. The clinic offers a range of services, including primary care, women's health, specialized care for diabetes management, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis C, behavioral health services, and nutrition counseling. The clinic was named after Denny Murphy, a founding board member, who made significant contributions to CHAS Health's mission.

The Pink Shamrock Foundation, established to honor Denny's work, continues to support CHAS Health by donating funding for various needs, including transportation for breast cancer patients. The foundation donates gas cards, bus fees, cab fares, and extra funding each year to help CHAS Health in its mission to provide quality healthcare to those in need.

In conclusion, CHAS Health is dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. With its mission to remove barriers to care and provide accessible healthcare services, CHAS Health has made a significant impact on the communities in the Inland Northwest.
