Riverside Community Health Foundation

What Riverside Community Health Foundation does

Riverside Community Health Foundation (RCHF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity (tax ID 23-7276444) founded in 1997 and headquartered at 4275 Lemon Street, Riverside, California. The organization is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the Riverside community, with programs targeting diabetes, obesity, childhood oral health, cancer, Black health equity, teen pregnancy prevention, and maternal/infant health outcomes. Service delivery combines direct program operation (The Pink Ribbon Place cancer resource center, gentle yoga, support groups including Esperanza para Mujeres and the Walnut Tribe), affiliated entities (Community Settlement Association, an affiliate since 2016, providing food security and social services at 4366 Bermuda Ave), and a clinical partnership with Neighborhood Healthcare launched in February 2023 to operate Eastside Health Centers A and B (1970/1971 University Ave) and Arlanza Family Health Center (8856 Arlington Ave). Sub-brands include the Eastside HEAL Zone, Riverside Chronic Disease Collaborative, F.A.C.T.S teen health program, National Diabetes Prevention Program, and the annual Pink on Parade breast cancer awareness walk (14th annual in 2025) held at Ryan Bonaminio Park.

RCHF operates on a hybrid nonprofit revenue model with three streams: grant funding (federal Community Project Funding of $2 million secured by Congressman Mark Takano in 2023, California Health Care Foundation Pulse of Change grant in January 2025, and other restricted/unrestricted grants), donations (individual and corporate contributions plus event-driven fundraising such as Pink on Parade), and service partnership revenue from Neighborhood Healthcare-operated clinics that bill Medi-Cal, Medicare, and private insurance for primary care, behavioral health, pediatrics, women's health, prenatal, dental, acupuncture, and chiropractic services. Most direct-to-community programs are offered free of charge to beneficiaries (food pantry, support groups, cancer resource services, gentle yoga, Aquamotion water aerobics, Bikes for All initiative). Geographic footprint is Riverside, California and surrounding Riverside County communities including Jurupa Valley; no international operations are indicated.

The technology footprint is standard nonprofit operations infrastructure with no proprietary technology disclosed: a WordPress-based website with online donation and event registration, Zoom-based virtual support groups, electronic newsletter/email alerts, and partner clinic operational platforms. Marketing is grassroots and event-driven via community events (Pink on Parade, Black History Month Parade, Youth Advisor Annual Celebration, food drives), content marketing through blog/news sections, earned media and press releases, and bilingual English/Spanish programming. Leadership transitioned in July 2025: Acting President and CEO Ninfa Delgado succeeded Dr. Shené Bowie-Hussey, who departed effective July 21, 2025, under Board Chair Karl J. McCleary, PhD, MPH, BSP.
