01What it does

What Community Health in Partnership Services (Chips) does

Mission

Chips' mission is to promote wellness and empower self-health management for the uninsured and underserved through preventative and primary healthcare services. Chips' vision is that every member of the community will be assured access to available and affordable healthcare and social services to ensure the continued development of a productive, healthy community. Chips' mission is accomplished through three primary programs.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.

Program

Chips health and wellness center is a nurse managed free and charitable health clinic established in 1990. Volunteer physicians, dentists, podiatrist, chiropractors, massage therapist and other providers care for low and moderate income individuals that are uninsured and underserved. The 5,000 sq ft. Health center has been located at 2431 n grand blvd in north st. Louis for over 30 years. Services provided on site include primary and preventive health care including internal and family medicine, psychiatry & behavioral health, gynecology, neuropathy, men's health, asthma/ allergy, dental, podiatry, optometrist, chiropractic and chronic disease support groups. Pandemic social distancing restrictions required revision to clinic protocols beginning in march 2020.chips expanded its telemedicine platform to continue serving patients unable to present for clinical services in person. Chips' voice and video conferencing infrastructure required major modernization to support the increased demand for telemedicine services. In 2020 chips provided 1,224 patient visits, 10,600 health services and completed 4684 case management contacts to clinic, outreach and support group patients.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COMMUNITY HEALTH IN PARTNERSHIP SERVICES (CHIPS).
