What We Do

Elevated Community Health was first established as Summit Community Care Clinic. In 1993 we started as a weekly walk-in clinic staffed by volunteers and managed by Summit County Public Health to address the need for primary and preventative health care for people who were uninsured and underinsured in Summit County. In the first year of operation, the Care Clinic provided 294 patient visits. The mission then was to provide care for all, regardless of barriers to care and the ability to pay. A lot has changed since 1993, but the mission of the Elevated Community Health remains the same. We are committed to providing exceptional, integrated, patient-centered health services designed to meet the health needs of all patients, particularly those who experience barriers to care, regardless of ability to pay. Today that mission is more important than ever. With high deductibles and costs in the central mountain region that far exceed national and state averages, health care has become a challenge for almost everyone. Although approximately half of our patients have health insurance and half don’t, all face similar challenges in navigating an increasingly complex, overly costly health care environment.
