How Pick.Click.Give. Makes a Difference

When you give through Pick.Click.Give., you help Sunshine Community Health Center (SCHC) provide high-quality, compassionate, and culturally competent healthcare to everyone in the Upper Susitna Valley—regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. With more than half of our patients uninsured and over a third living below the poverty line, your support ensures that care reaches those who need it most.

Your donations make an immediate impact by sustaining:
> Medical Services: Family health care, lab and X-ray, immunizations, sports physicals, men’s health, eye care, and more.
> Dental Services: Preventive care, pediatric first visits, and full-mouth rehabilitation.
> Behavioral Health: Confidential counseling, substance use treatment, and group, family, and couples therapy.

Beyond the clinic walls, your generosity supports unique community-based programs such as:
> Sunshine Transit – Reliable, low-cost rides to health care, education, and employment.
> Office-Based Opioid Treatment – Medication-assisted recovery paired with behavioral health support.
> Positive Action in Schools – Evidence-based programs that build resilience and foster healthy choices for youth.
> Patient Advocacy & Care Management – Helping families navigate financial paperwork, Medicaid/Medicare, and resources to bridge gaps in care.

Targeted Donation Funds also extend your impact:
> Families in Crisis Fund – Emergency assistance for local individuals and families.
> Crisis Care Bags – Dignity-focused kits with hygiene, weather gear, and health supplies for those in unstable housing or health situations.
> School Supplies & Scholarships – Tools and support for the next generation of students and healthcare professionals.
> Staff Appreciation & Scholarships – Investing in the caregivers who keep our community strong.
> Gardens & Community Initiatives – Nourishing our neighbors with fresh food, wellness spaces, and grassroots programs.

Every dollar you give stays local—helping us prevent costly emergency room visits, lower overall healthcare costs, and keep our northern valley communities healthy, connected, and strong.

Together, we make a difference.
