The Community HealthCare Association of the Dakotas (CHAD) is a non-profit membership organization that serves as the primary care association for North Dakota and South Dakota. As CHAD, we believe that everyone has a right to high-quality, reliable, affordable health care, regardless of where they live. We work with health centers, community leaders, and partners to increase access to and improve health care services in areas of the Dakotas that need it most. For more than 35 years, CHAD has advanced the efforts of health centers through training, technical assistance, education, and advocacy. Currently, CHAD supports nine health center organizations across North Dakota and South Dakota by providing a variety of resources to enhance key areas of operations, including clinical, human resources, finance, outreach and enabling, marketing, and advocacy.
