Why We Give and Why You Should Give
Our goal to promote health and wellness in our community.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Promoting wellness in our community through preventative healthcare is important because it can help to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. It can also help to improve the quality of life for those who are living with chronic illnesses. Furthermore, preventative healthcare can help to reduce healthcare costs by preventing or delaying the onset of chronic diseases. Health promotion and disease prevention are essential components of a healthy community. Wellness programs that promote healthy lifestyles and provide early detection and treatment of health problems can make a positive impact on the health of our community.

Healthy Kids Club
#HealthyKids
The Healthy Kids Club (HKC) is a program focused on promoting better health outcomes for children. The program emphasizes the need to stay immunized, keeping up with medical, eye, and dental well checks, and encourages behavioral health visits when patients are struggling with emotional or mental health issues. The program supports these families by recognizing when they attend their visits and is available to children ages birth to fifteen years.
Empowering Women's Wellness: Support Our Women's Health Initiative
#OurMothers
Pregnancy is an exciting time, often filled with anticipation and hope. Our prenatal specialists help local parents and their babies stay healthy by encouraging early entry to prenatal care. This allows for appropriate education and support hoping to reduce infant mortality or low birth weight babies.
How can you help? Help fund our OB-GYNs, family medicine physicians, and certified nurse midwives care for these mothers and babies during their pregnancy.
Ms. Susie Froese searched for a midwife in a hospital setting, she was recommended to Stephanie White, MSN, RNC-OB, CNM.
"Ms. Stephanie White was incredibly supportive, calm, affirming, and had faith in my choice and capability for a natural birth. I will always fondly remember Ms. Stephanie White, CHCL midwife, who was attentive and allowed time for my questions and concerns.”
“I considered myself blessed for CHCL to have a midwife who was able to deliver at the hospital. This partnership provides care for patients such as me, who have a strong desire to deliver as natural as possible - this was a perfect balance. God bless you and thank you for this incredible and memorable journey.”

When you give to our Capital Campaign, you help to free up our operating revenue to provide for more quality patient care. Lubbock needs your help to build a healthier West Texas.
