Charitable Healthcare Network

Premier statewide healthcare collaborative

Founded in 2000 as the Ohio Association of Free Clinics (OAFC), the Charitable Healthcare Network (CHN) is a dynamic collaborative network of 59 of Ohio’s charitable and free healthcare providers supporting and advocating for quality care for Ohio’s most underserved populations. Its operating budget of $3MM is supported by the State of Ohio’s General Revenue Fund augmented by generous gifts and grants from foundations and individual donors.

Rewarding opportunity for the next leader

Guiding a hybrid staff of three and reporting to a ten-member state-wide Board of Directors, the next ED will inherit this financially secure 501(c)(3). A discerning understanding of today’s healthcare environment and barriers facing the underserved will be paramount, as will the ability to facilitate and continue to grow collaborative network engagement. Advocacy experience in Columbus will be essential to continue to promote and provide for the urgent patient needs of CHN network organizations.
