CHRC HISTORY 

Community Health Resource Center, Inc. (CHRC), a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization, was established in July 1999, by Carol Pitts, RN, BSN.


The nonprofit’s inception was greatly influenced by this organization’s president and her early life in rural Louisiana and additionally affected by lower-income urban areas of the inner-city, while working as a community nurse. While serving in the heart of these communities, allowed first-hand observation, of the multiple needs and despair that affect our target client population. Noticeable disparities were identified by her and the need to develop programs and resources became an ambitious desire. CHRC came to fruition as a solution to this socio-economic crisis.


CHRC recognized that this crisis impacted low-income communities in both urban and rural areas.  We serve both communities in and around the Houston TX area and additionally the community of Greensburg, LA, St. Helena and the Florida parishes.  Our larger scale and the multi-state mission launched with great promise and hope for its citizens.



Since its founding, CHRC has provided health education and disease management for Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hypertension, and HIV/AIDS awareness.  We've also provided case management for children with special health care needs and high-risk pregnant teens and women.  Additionally, provisional resources for the elderly are provided.


Currently, CHRC has acquired ADA-accessible vans, to provide non-emergency medical transportation in Houston, TX, and working to offer a similar and more holistic service, to meet the needs of the families in Greensburg, LA, St. Helena and the Florida parishes.  CHRC would like to facilitate the development of this idea through corporate and foundation funding, and volunteerism from the residents of these communities.
