Treasure Coast Community Health serves more than 28,000 adults and children per year and 50% live at or below the Federal Poverty Level. TCCH provides medical, dental, behavioral and mental health, vision and pharmacy to all, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
The 2023 Great Duck Derby supports TCCH women's and children's programs.
Women
TCCH provides care to more than 11,200 women. Women require special care and diagnosis. Disease and illness such as heart disease, osteoporosis, sport injuries, urinary issues, diabetes and "female" cancers present differently in women than males. Females are typically the drivers of healthcare. Therefore, it is often a female that forgoes treatment to care for and support her family. Your gift helps pay for women's care, keeping them and their families healthy.
Children
TCCH provides care to more than 9,000 children. Healthy children are able to grow and learn at the correct developmental pace. When they are sick, have blurred vision or a toothache, they cannot learn. A well-educated child becomes a precious resource to the community. Your support of TCCH children's programs benefits everyone.
You can change lives by adopting ducks!
