 Mission Statement: The Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic is a non-profit organization that provides quality outpatient health care for the eligible working uninsured and develops and provides programs to address community health care needs through collaborative partnerships.
Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic on the National Health Care Debate While Congress has passed historic health care reform and we are awaiting the president’s signature to make the bill law, free and charitable clinics are committed to continue serving the nation's uninsured who are in need of health care immediately. Our clinic will continue to need the support from our community, our funders and our volunteers to provide the services to our patients.
Currently there are 42 million uninsured Americans, who are currently in need of health care and the Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic will continue to serve these patients while the legislative process is underway, which may take years to be fully implemented.

Why the Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic? - Workers are able to maintain their health so they can stay employed
- Area employers have a healthy, dependable workforce with which to run their business
- New Business owners can pursue their dream of business ownership without delays caused by unattended health issues, or using much-needed capital dollars to purchase often-unaffordable health insurance
- Local economic development agencies have a viable lure to attract businesses to the area
- Economic benefits for all by treating the uninsured in the most cost-effective manner available-at a lower cost than providing basic care through hospital emergency rooms or government-run programs
The primary goal of this effort is to make basic health care services accessible to lower income working Lafayette Parish residents so that they will remain healthy enough to maintain their jobs, their homes, and their independence.
