Consumer Health Coalition (CHC) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that was founded in 1996. Our mission is to inspire a consumer movement to enhance access to quality, affordable, accessible healthcare in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

CHC is dedicated to the eradication of disparities in health access and outcomes. We understand that people experience unequal starting points or access to resources that are unfortunately correlated with socioeconomic status, racial or ethnic backgrounds, and disability status.

To accomplish its mission, CHC reaches out to and enrolls at-risk consumers in public health insurance programs; educates the community about the availability of public health insurance programs and pertinent health policy issues; and both serves and organizes at-risk, marginalized people and the organizations that serve them to influence system reform. Consumer Health has a strong commitment from partnerships in Allegheny County and continues to expand our reach in the surrounding counties.
