"This is the story of Maria Gomez. She was in a terrible state two years ago. After being injured at work, she lost her job and then her COBRA health insurance extension ran out. Maria was unable to find private health insurance on the open market because she has diabetes, a pre-existing chronic condition."

Read more of Maria's story and learn how the Santa Cruz Women's Health Center helps women like her. We're the local clinic already ensuring your medical care while the nation debates universal coverage. But quality medical service for women and children with limited resources is a growing need.

Donation Designation

By making your gift undesignated, we will determine where your donation can have the greatest impact. If you have a preference for the allocation of your donation, you may designate a category from the list below.

• General donation: Support the Santa Cruz Women's Health Center mission where it is needed the most.

• Primary Care for the Uninsured: Approximately 42% of our patients are uninsured. Your gift towards our primary care program will ensure that you live in a healthier community and that Santa Cruz pays less for unnecessary emergency room visits.

• Chronic Care Program: We work to catch chronic conditions early on and help patients manage it with a focus on exercise, diet, and environment. It's their best chance for staying employed and enjoying a life without pain. Your gift helps low-income individuals meet with their provider regularly, buy on-going medication and still afford to pay their household bills.

• Children's Health: Twenty percent of our patients are below the age of 18. Your gift will provide well-child visits and vaccinations for children from low-income families and needed antibiotics and medicine during the cold and flu season.

• Health Education and Advocacy: Our case managers are ombudsman as well as advocates for our patients. Your gift will help our patients-in-need find useful services in the community and possibly an insurance plan that will cover their medical needs.

Thank you for helping us create a healthy community today!
