Community Health Trust of Pajaro Valley

EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE.... Our Diabetes Health Center (DHC) is transforming into a healthy living campus in the heart of Pajaro Valley! 💛 This visionary project is more than just renovating space; it embodies a holistic approach to wellness that nurtures the mind, body, & soul, enabling our community to thrive at every level. This transformation is driven by the vision of fostering a community-wide commitment to wellness, where every choice—whether it's selecting nutritious foods, engaging in regular physical activity, or practicing other health-promoting behaviors—plays a crucial role in building a healthier future. Our new campus will encompass all DHC's services, consolidating them into a single, larger space. This allows us to expand current services to address and support those with chronic health diseases. Join us in building a healthier Pajaro Valley! Your support is crucial in creating healthier families, stronger communities, and a more equitable future. Donate today and be part of the change!
