In 2001, a small number of local health care professionals, business and civic leaders came together to address the rapidly deteriorating access to health care. Significant numbers in the community were losing health benefits with lost jobs or forced to drop coverage due to escalating costs. Of particular concern was the increase in persons with chronic illness neglecting medical care due to the inability to pay for services. The increase in neglected illness consequently led to higher demand for emergency care and created unneccessary crises, and often resulted in avoidable hospital stays, complications, and permanent disability.

A charitable facility with a volunteer staff providing care to the working poor, persons gainfully employed yet incapable of affording basic health care services. In April 2002, the Community Health Clinic of Hardin & LaRue Counties opened its doors for services.
To provide basic health care services to the uninsured, low-income residents of Hardin and LaRue Counties.
