What is CHAC?

The Community Health Access Coalition (CHAC) is a non-profit, volunteer organization coordinating access to healthcare for uninsured residents of Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac Counties in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan (EUP).  

Why was CHAC established?

CHAC was established in response to the 3700 uninsured residents in the EUP.  These individuals fall into the "healthcare access gap”.  They do not have access to an employee sponsored health plan, yet they do not qualify for state funded programs. 

What does CHAC do?

CHAC fills the "heathcare access gap" for residents of the EUP.   CHAC helps connect uninsured individuals with access to healthcare services such as primary care, certain specialty care, the top ten lab tests, certain blood work, chest x-ray's, radiology and pharmaceuticals.  (CHAC is not a health insurance policy.)
