building a healthier Phoenix Together
A Year of Community-Powered Care
In 2023, Phoenix Allies for Community Health continued its mission to provide free, volunteer-led healthcare and holistic support to uninsured and underserved families across Phoenix. For 14 years, PACH has been powered entirely by community volunteers, grassroots partnerships, and donors who believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, dignified healthcare.
This report highlights the people, partnerships, and programs that made it all possible.

Our Community Partners
Our community partners make our work possible by expanding the care we’re able to provide to patients and families. In 2023, Direct Relief donated $770,000 in medication, which allowed us to supply 106 patients with the prescriptions they needed. St. Mary’s Food Bank contributed 13,035 pounds of food to our pantry, supporting 49 individuals and families throughout the year, and Kitchen on the Street provided additional holiday food deliveries. We also partnered with TQP to offer gender-affirming care, Affirm to provide free contraception, and APCA to support patient screenings and vaccinations. Together, these partnerships strengthen our ability to deliver free, community-driven healthcare rooted in dignity and equity.
When patients require services beyond our scope, PACH works closely with trusted partners like St. Vincent de Paul and Valleywise Health to ensure access to specialty care, diagnostic imaging, and continued support.
COMMUNITY-POWERED HEALTHCARE
Volunteer Impact
PACH is entirely volunteer-powered, and it’s the dedication of our clinicians, clinic volunteers, board members, and super volunteers that makes it possible to provide free, dignified care each week. This year, our volunteer team included 11 clinicians, 36 clinic volunteers, and 8 board members who collectively powered every aspect of our work.

2023 Financial Summary
PACH’s funding and expenses are evenly balanced to ensure stability and maximize patient support. Every dollar is used intentionally to keep care free for our community.
How We’re Funded
In 2023, PACH’s revenue was evenly divided across three sources — 33.3% from grants, 33.3% from donations, and 33.3% from fundraising events. This balanced funding model ensures ongoing stability and allows us to keep all care completely free for our community.
How Funds Are Used
Resources were allocated evenly across key areas of care and clinic operations. Expenses included clinic supplies (20%), LabCorp lab testing (20%), Simon Med imaging (20%), Uber transportation support (20%), and administrative overhead (20%) — each playing an essential role in delivering free, comprehensive healthcare.

Looking Ahead
In the year ahead, PACH will continue expanding clinic services, strengthening partnerships, enhancing wellness programming, and increasing food support capacity. With continued volunteer energy and community support, we will remain a movement-based, culturally grounded clinic committed to health equity for all.
