Chapa-De Indian Health

Today Chapa-De operates two private, non-profit community health centers and is governed by an American Indian Board of Directors. The Board of Directors includes members of the United Auburn Indian Community, which is Chapa-De’s supporting Tribe.  Under UAIC’s authority, Chapa-De contracts with Indian Health Services (IHS) to provide no-cost or low-cost services and medications to verified American Indians and Alaska Natives from federally recognized and California tribes. We also welcome low-income individuals and families.

Our health centers offer adult and pediatric primary medical care, nutrition and health education, prenatal care, dental care, orthodontia, mental health counseling, psychiatry, optometry, and pharmacy services.

Chapa-De serves over 20,000 active patients and continue to expand our services based on the needs of our communities. We recently renovated our Auburn and Grass Valley campuses to help meet the rising demand for local healthcare providers who accept Medi-Cal patients. Chapa-De is committed to providing quality, integrated and patient-centered care to all people regardless of their financial situation or ethnicity.
