Our Purpose
We are dedicated to providing high-quality care regardless of your financial situation or ethnicity. Our passion is to care for American Indian and Alaska Native people as well as low-income individuals and families.
Our Philosophy
Chapa-De has a healthcare model that is both patient-centered and integrated. The patient is the central focus of our services and processes, and they will receive care from a highly skilled team of healthcare professionals.
Who We Serve
Our health centers offer adult and pediatric primary medical care, nutrition and health education, prenatal care, dental care, orthodontia, mental health counseling, psychiatry, optometry, and pharmacy services.
We serve over 20,000 active patients and continue to expand our services based on the needs of our communities. We recently renovated our Auburn and Grass Valley campuses to help meet the rising demand for local healthcare providers who accept Medi-Cal patients. Chapa-De is committed to providing quality, integrated and patient-centered care to all people regardless of their financial situation or ethnicity.
Our History
Chapa-De was founded in 1974 after a study showed American Indians in California experienced a higher incidence of diabetes, depression, and substance abuse. American Indians were also found to suffer from higher rates of infant mortality and have drastically shorter life expectancy rates. This study also revealed that American Indians had not had regular access to healthcare services, including basic dental care, since the 1950s.
Today Chapa-De operates two private, non-profit community health centers and is governed by an American Indian Board of Directors. The Board of Directors includes members of the United Auburn Indian Community, which is Chapa-De’s supporting Tribe. Under UAIC’s authority, Chapa-De contracts with Indian Health Services (IHS) to provide no-cost or low-cost services and medications to verified American Indians and Alaska Natives from federally recognized and California tribes. We also welcome low-income individuals and families.
