Executive Summary

Camino Community Development Corporation (CCDC) is a bilingual and multicultural health and social services center that works to equip people to live healthy, hopeful, and productive lives. We do this by utilizing a holistic approach to care that addresses the physical, behavioral, and social needs of each person. CCDC provides programming in five areas and serves over 20,000 individuals each year. We offer primary care and pediatric medical services at our health clinic, behavioral health programming, health and wellness education, food security/pantry services, and workforce development and financial literacy support.

CCDC prides itself on serving the Latino population well. We hire staff with similar cultural and language backgrounds as those that we serve and have built trust with the community, which is important for a population that is often skeptical of government. Our approach to care is informed by the social determinants of health (SDH), the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes such as education and job insecurity, and aims to meet each individual’s physical, mental, and social needs. Patients and clients are screened on the SDH and referred to other program areas and organizations to receive the resources they need in all areas of their lives.

All of our programs are provided at low or no cost and are culturally sensitive to the people we serve. Approximately 93% of our patients and clients have income below 200% of the federal poverty level, over 99% are uninsured, and more than 40% live in public health priority areas, increasing their risk of detrimental physical and mental health outcomes. Everything we do is designed to increase access for an underserved population that is shaping the future of North Carolina.
