HCHF community programs in Lake Havasu

Programs & Services

HCHF serves as a broad umbrella organization for dozens of vital local healthcare and social service initiatives. Here's how we serve the Lake Havasu community.

Our Programs

Every program is funded by community donations and run by caring volunteers and staff — all staying right here in Lake Havasu City.

Health Related Programs & Support Groups

You don't have to face it alone

HCHF facilitates regular peer-led education, support groups, and private sessions, so community members living with serious conditions can connect, learn, and support one another.

  • Alzheimer's disease and Dementia (including caregivers support groups, memory screenings and virtual dementia tours)
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Stroke — a community for survivors, recovery and caregivers
  • Emotional health and suicide awareness
  • Cancer screenings, individualized support sessions, hydrotherapy

Low-Cost Medical Screenings & Labs

Affordable diagnostics for every participant

For in-need participants who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing exceptionally high deductibles, HCHF provides public access to heavily discounted diagnostic services. Cost should never be the reason someone skips a life-saving screening.

  • Standard blood panels (Lipid, Comprehensive Metabolic, Vitamin D, A1c)
  • Mammograms and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests
  • Early cancer detection screenings
  • X-rays, MRIs, and bone density scans

HCHF Food Bank

Nourishing families in our community

HCHF FOOD BANK provides fresh groceries and emergency food boxes to families experiencing food insecurity. We work to ensure that no Lake Havasu family goes without access to nutritious food.

  • Fresh and non-perishable food items
  • Monthly food boxes for families in need
  • Accessible delivery distribution for home-bound seniors and disabled residents
  • Grocery Rescue from local stores
  • Coordination with community food donors and volunteers
  • Coordination with local social service agencies

Veterans Programs

Serving those who served us

HCHF provides a comprehensive range of support for Lake Havasu veterans — from affordable housing and healthcare access to backpacks for homeless veterans and free transportation to court hearings and counseling sessions.

  • Supportive housing and independent living program (in partnership with HUD)
  • Affordable utilities and grocery delivery for disabled or senior veterans
  • Low-cost lab tests and health screenings for veterans without VA access
  • Backpacks (weather gear, hygiene, food, water) for homeless veterans
  • Free transportation to Veterans Treatment Court hearings and counseling

Community Relief

A safety net when it's needed most

When unexpected hardship strikes — sudden job loss, a medical crisis, or a natural disaster — HCHF's Community Relief program steps in with temporary financial assistance to help families stay on their feet and meet their basic needs.

  • Coordination with local social service agencies

Youth Programs

Healthy kids, healthy community

HCHF's Back-to-School Health Fair ensures local children start the school year with the health services they need — regardless of their family's financial situation.

  • Required school immunizations
  • Free sports physicals
  • Necessary health screenings for school-age children
