CCHP, a health plan with Chinese linguistic and cultural service, expands to full Alameda County

OAKLAND — In 1986, a group of Chinese American community physicians founded the Chinese Community Health Plan (CCHP) in San Francisco Chinatown to specifically serve the Chinese American small businesses and employers who faced major challenges to get healthcare coverage from traditional insurance companies at that time. 38 years later today, CCHP has provided full services in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties and will begin to serve full Alameda County in 2025.
