Our Mission
Our 501(c)(3) organization, Rise Up Health Clinics (RUHC), provides health services at the Bear Care Clinic. We founded the non-profit, nurse-led organization in 2020 to provide health services to children and adolescents in school-based health centers.
Our mission is to provide accessible, affordable care to improve health and educational outcomes in children. We aim to deliver community health equity and eliminate health disparities.
