CHAPS was founded as an official 501c(3) non-profit organization in 2013 to enable and empower children to make healthier choices for themselves and to educate children about all facets of their health. Originally called the Children's Health Awareness Program in Schools, in January 2024, the name was changed to the Community Health Awareness Program and Screenings in order to meet the overall community's needs regarding health resources and screenings. Our team aims to hold community outreach events to provide preventative care for community members, especially individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds and underserved communities. Through events and workshops, we aim for our community to become proactive about their overall health by providing educational and medical resources, and free testing and screening guidance.
CHAPS provides an avenue for community members to become more proactive about their overall health and get access to medical, educational and screening resources. Our team engages in community outreach and tabling events to provide preventative care and medical resources for individuals at high-risk for certain chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and lung cancer. Socioeconomic disparities are prominent barriers that prevent many, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, from getting access to the medical care they need and deserve. CHAPS aims to meet community members where they are and bring free medical resources and screening to them.
There is a lot of information out there, but we don't always know how or where to begin. Through CHAPS, our team shares experiences and knowledge for individuals to make healthful choices and get access to medical resources and screenings. We dedicate this website and our initiatives to anyone who wants to become more proactive about their overall health.
