Community Education
The Community Health Clinic hosts multiple educational events per year for the communities we serve. These events focus on who we are, what we do, genetic disorders we treat, and how we can support individuals and families.
Although some educational events are held at the CHC, our team does conduct outreach educational events where we travel to specific communities in southern Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Kentucky. Our educational and outreach programs provide access to knowledge, care, and resources that otherwise may not be readily available.
In addition to educational events, our team works diligently to educate communities of resources available through other outlets. Our team is passionate about empowering the community to help them make informed decisions.
Education Programs
Patient Resource Library
The Patient Resource Library was created to provide a calm, welcoming environment for individuals and families visiting the CHC. The library offers a variety of resources, including books available for in-clinic use or checkout, information on genetic conditions, and dietary resources such as low-protein recipes for individuals with specialized nutritional needs.
Children may enjoy CHC-specific coloring books designed to encourage learning and creativity. A computer workstation is also available to help individuals and families access additional educational materials and order specialized dietary products directly from manufacturers.
Individuals and families are encouraged to visit the Patient Resource Library during their time at the CHC to explore resources that may support their care and daily living.
Help sustain hope for future generations
Your support will help sustain the Clinic’s mission, ensuring every patient continues to receive compassionate care, and each 1 in 21 person with a rare genetic disorder has a chance for a brighter future.
