Phoenix Allies for Community Health

What Phoenix Allies for Community Health does

Phoenix Allies for Community Health (PACH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-run free clinic located at 2902 W. Clarendon Ave in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 2012 as a street medic collective during protests against Arizona's anti-immigrant laws, the organization opened its first brick-and-mortar clinic in April 2013 and moved to its current location in January 2016. PACH provides free primary medical care, preventive care, food support, in-house pharmacy medications, vaccines, case management, and traditional healing services to uninsured and medically marginalized individuals who are ineligible for government-funded insurance programs. The organization operates Thursday through Saturday from 9am to 2pm and is staffed by approximately 55 volunteers including 11 clinicians, 36 clinic volunteers, and 8 board members, with zero corporate overhead.

In 2025, PACH cared for 158 patients through 693 medical and lab visits and distributed 13,753 pounds of food. Service delivery is enabled by an ecosystem of community partnerships including Direct Relief ($770,000 in donated medication in 2023), St. Mary's Food Bank, Valleywise Health, St. Vincent de Paul, Affirm, Trans-Queer Pueblo, APCA, Kitchen on the Street, Indigenous Birth, and Phoenix Midwife. The clinic differentiates itself through culturally grounded wellness programming, gender-affirming care, free contraception, and movement-based community health principles.

PACH's revenue model is evenly distributed across three streams — grants (33.3%), individual donations including Arizona Tax Credit contributions (33.3%), and fundraising events such as Brunch Happy Hour and Karaoke Night (33.3%). The organization has earned the Candid Platinum Transparency Seal in both 2023 and 2024, signaling governance accountability. Operating geographies are restricted to Arizona, with all services delivered through the single Phoenix clinic site.

Direct peers

• CommunityHealth (Chicago): One of the largest volunteer-run free clinics in the U.S., serving uninsured adults in Chicago with primary care, specialty referrals, lab services, and medications. Closely comparable to PACH in model, patient population, and service breadth.
• Bread for the City: Washington, D.C. nonprofit providing free medical care, food, and social services to low-income residents. Highly comparable to PACH for combining a free clinic with a food pantry and case management under one volunteer-powered umbrella.
• The Night Ministry: Chicago-based nonprofit providing free health care, shelter, and social services to people facing poverty and homelessness. Comparable to PACH in mission, integrated health-plus-social services model, and outreach to medically marginalized populations.
• Volunteers in Medicine: National nonprofit that builds and supports a network of volunteer-run free clinics for the uninsured. Shares the same volunteer-powered, donation-funded, non-government-affiliated clinic model as PACH.
• Remote Area Medical: Volunteer-driven nonprofit that operates pop-up free clinics providing medical, dental, and vision care to underserved populations. Comparable in mission, volunteer-driven delivery model, and free-of-charge care for uninsured individuals.

Regional players

• Adelante Healthcare: Arizona-based community health center operating multiple sites serving underserved populations across the Phoenix metro. Functions as a regional peer for PACH given its overlapping patient population and geographic footprint, though it operates as an FQHC rather than a volunteer clinic.
• Valleywise Health: Phoenix-based public safety-net health system providing care regardless of ability to pay. Comparable as a regional safety-net provider serving uninsured and Medicaid populations, and is already a PACH referral partner for diagnostic imaging.
• St. Vincent de Paul Phoenix: Regional nonprofit providing free medical and dental clinics, food assistance, and social services across Arizona. Comparable to PACH as a charitable healthcare provider serving uninsured populations, and is currently a PACH referral partner for specialty care.

Others

• Direct Relief: Large humanitarian aid organization providing medical resources to safety-net providers. PACH is a recipient of Direct Relief's medication donations, and Direct Relief is functionally comparable as a funder/in-kind supplier of charitable healthcare infrastructure.
• National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics: Industry association representing 1,400+ free and charitable clinics in the U.S. PACH is a member of this network and is directly comparable to the membership base of volunteer-run, free-of-charge clinics serving uninsured patients.
