About Us
TPAC/WHCI World Health Care Infrastructures
Our Mission
Empower and uplift all marginalized communities through comprehensive behavioral health and wellness services.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a compassionate and inclusive community where everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to essential health and support services. We aim to be a sanctuary for undocumented immigrant communities, particularly those who have been victims of crime, providing them with the mental health support necessary to begin their healing journey.
We are committed to offering comprehensive prescription assistance for individuals with and without insurance, prioritizing those from marginalized communities, including LGBTQIA+, Black, Brown, and trans individuals. Our goal is to ensure that medical services are accessible and affordable, offering low to no-cost care for the uninsured.
Through our food voucher program, we strive to alleviate food insecurity and ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Additionally, we dedicate ourselves to connecting people to vital resources, fostering a network of support that empowers individuals to thrive.
Together, we envision a future where everyone can live a healthy, fulfilled, and dignified life.
