Care 2 Communities

C2C’s pioneering social enterprise healthcare model has changed how primary healthcare is delivered in Northern Haiti. Since launching the public-private partnership with Haiti’s Ministry of Health in 2018, C2C has served over 70,000 patient visits annually, developed high-impact specialty programming, and adapted to the growing service demand. We are committed to increasing the reach of our healthcare services through operational and programmatic expansion while continuing to evaluate the impact of our core primary care service model on the health outcomes of the patients we serve.

We believe that public-private partnership in healthcare is the most effective, sustainable way to strengthen healthcare in developing countries. Our model harnesses the assets of the public sector, leveraging medical expertise and systemic capabilities, and integrates best practices and innovation from the private sector to deliver best-in-class, sustainable healthcare services in one of the world’s most challenging health markets.

C2C’s seven community-based clinics reach over 70,000 patients annually. Our clinic model is a public-private partnership with the government of Haiti, which allows for two additional revenue streams beyond traditional philanthropy: cost-sharing and earned revenue. C2C clinics offer the highest quality care in northern Haiti at below-market rates, ensuring that low-income families get the care they need when and where they need it most.

The Haitian Ministry of Health, appreciative of our long-standing partnership and track record of impact, has asked C2C to expand rapidly to additional sites. Because C2C’s clinic network has already built out and optimized core systems (supply chain, data, and financial management, clinical quality assurance, etc.), network expansion costs are streamlined and focused in two areas: 1.) capital renovation of the Ministry of Health clinics (i.e., medical and lab equipment, generators and solar panels, ensuring adequate water and sanitation, installation of the EMR system and technology) and 2.) capacity-building for core operational systems: enhanced staff capacity for data management, analytics and evaluation, and impact research.

Our central goal for pediatric services is to tackle the immunization gap through health education programs, clinician/patient counseling, and by utilizing lay health workers to reach children in their homes and on the field. In 2022, C2C had 7,613 vaccine visits and 912 children fully immunized under 24 months. We aim to increase our vaccine coverage rate and vaccinate more children.

As our catchment area grows to 500,000, we seek to expand our maternal health program to meet high and growing demand. Maternal health services are provided at three (of 7) clinics once a week; we see more than 900 unique antenatal patients annually. We aim to increase the days we offer antenatal consultations and implement the program in all our clinics.
