Donate Together, we can eradicate health inequity through unconditional care.
Evergreen Health fosters healthy communities by providing medical, supportive and behavioral services to individuals and families in Western New York — especially those who are living with chronic illness or are underserved by the healthcare system. We’re a non-profit community health center serving some of our region’s most vulnerable patients, and we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay.
Many of our services are supported in part by contributions from our community. Your donation makes a real difference in our patients’ lives and brings us closer to our mission of eradicating health inequity through unconditional care.

- The transportation assistance program that gives Darryl bus passes to get to his appointments at our Bailey Avenue location
- The housing assistance program that helped him find stable, affordable housing
- The YouPLUS program where he meets with peers who are also living with HIV for connection, support, and services
