Nonmedical Community Services

While delivering much-needed health services to underserved people is the critical part of our mission, Betty Jean Kerr People’s Health Centers also is a community partner and catalyst for local improvement.

We offer vital nonmedical services that help the communities we serve grow and prosper. We build houses. We help people save for education, homes, or to open a small business. We develop comfortable, accessible housing for the elderly and disabled. We offer healthy-living classes.

$60 million employment and benefits
