How is CHAISR pronounced?
It’s Chai-Sir
– Think: your favorite morning chai latte, followed by a polite “sir”.
Not “chaser”
– We’re here to support our health center members and the patients who rely on them, not race through it.
Easy right?
The Value of Community Health Centers
We are excited to release our new video which demonstrates the value of community based health care that our members provide to the most vulnerable communities in both San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
