Community Health Insurance Program

Getting yourself enrolled into health insurance or CalFresh can be a daunting task—a confusing world filled with income calculations, insurance premiums, HMO networks, and piles of paperwork. Our Community Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides a team of bilingual (English/Spanish) Community Health Workers who advise consumers on public programs for which they are eligible, free help with submitting their applications, and follow-up to assist in troubleshooting or advocating for clients who are improperly denied coverage.

Launched in 2009, CHIP partners with local schools, churches, health clinics and other community organizations to provide assistance at convenient sites throughout the South Bay, Westside, and San Fernando Valley, while focusing attention on our most vulnerable neighborhoods.

If you are in the South Bay or Westside, please contact us at chip@providence.org or 1-877-567-7463 to schedule an appointment. Click here for our South Bay flyer.

If you are in the San Fernando Valley, please contact us at chipsfv@providence.org or 818-403-0913. Click here for our SFV flyer.
