ChapCare Brings the Gift of Christmas Cheer to Children and their Families in Pasadena

On Friday, December 16, 2016, ChapCare hosted its Annual Holiday Extravaganza at its Lincoln health center in Pasadena. At this year’s event, over 400 children and their families attended the holiday festivity. They were able to enjoy an afternoon filled with arts and crafts, music, holiday stories, tasty treats, toys (one for each child), and of course, a photo with Santa.

ChapCare is the leading safety-net provider in the areas it serves. The organization provides over 90% of the low-income medical visits in the City of Pasadena. The organization serves a primarily low-income patient population, with 59% being Latino, and many Spanish speaking. ChapCare has 3,291 children ages 0-17 in its medical practice, many of whom are low-income and underserved.

“ChapCare values its patients, and is always looking for ways to support their overall well-being,” said Margaret B. Martinez MPH, ChapCare’s Chief Executive Officer. “ChapCare’s Holiday Extravaganza embodies the true spirit of Christmas with small businesses and community members donating what they can to enrich the lives of those patients who are less fortunate.”
