Mission Statement
Catholic Charities is the social ministry outreach of the Archdiocese of Washington. Motivated by the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, and guided by Catholic social and moral teaching, Catholic Charities strengthens the lives of all in need by giving help that empowers and hope that lasts. To this end we affirm and support the dignity of all human life, strengthen families and serve the poor and most vulnerable.
Description
The Catholic Charities Health Care Network (CCHCN) connects low-income and uninsured patients with specialized, pro bono health care services. Patients are referred from community-based health clinics. Through a network of specialists of all practices and several area hospitals, thousands receive desperately needed health services each year.
