Chronic Illness Coalition

The Chronic Illness Coalition’s (CIAC) membership has grown to include over 60 independent health organizations working together to provide information and support to those persons with chronic illness. CIC facilitates networking, programs and resources among related agencies; provides an opportunity for the advocacy of issues related to chronic illnesses and is an educational resource for health and human service professionals involved in preventing chronic illness and treating the chronically ill. CIC offers information workshops on topics of interest offered at membership meetings. Information and referral continues to add to the benefit of membership. Currently the focus has been to support those with chronic illness of lower income by assisting with financial or medical needs, ramp installation and offering Project: Insure the Uninsured; an event that has traveled to various counties and community centers to assist those individuals and families who are uninsured.
