Our Mission

Peoples Community Health Clinic, Inc. is dedicated to providing access to affordable, compassionate, high quality health care for all.

The values that inform the mission of Peoples Clinic has remained the same since it's founding in 1976. We believe that all people are entitled to healthcare and the support they need, regardless of insurance, immigration status, or ability to pay.

Unwavering Commitment to Our Patients

We welcome both insured and uninsured patients, ensuring everyone has access to the medical attention they need. Our Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) designation means we prioritize building strong relationships between our patients and their care teams, fostering a personalized approach to healthcare.

A Legacy of Service and Growth

Peoples Community Health Clinic began its journey in 1976 from the humble basement of a church. Over the years, we have grown to encompass a 40,000 square foot facility in downtown Waterloo and opened a satellite clinic – Peoples Clinic Butler County in Clarksville. This expansion reflects our continued dedication to serving the healthcare needs of our community.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe in transparency and accountability. You can learn more about our mission, values, and impact by viewing our 2023 Annual Report.

A Note from Our CEO:

At Peoples Community Health Clinic, community is at the core of our care. We believe that we can best take care of our patients when we are dedicated to the needs of the community.

This was evident from the start of the Clinic in 1976 and remains the same today. Our commitment to serving the community influenced the creation of our logo and serves as a clear reminder of our commitment to health equity for all.

Providing equitable healthcare means removing barriers that might prevent our patients from receiving care. We believe that our patients deserve care regardless of their situation, income, or language, and we will do all we can to be accessible to each need. 

We appreciate our dedicated staff, as well as the organizations, charitable foundations, and community members for their continuous support of the Peoples Clinic mission. We thank you for allowing us to provide care and are grateful to have you here. 

Sincerely,
Christine Kemp, Chief Executive Officer
