Community-University Health Care Center (CUHCC) is a federally qualified health center in south Minneapolis that provides medical, dental and behavioral health care to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Annually, CUHCC serves nearly 11,000 patients from low-income, BIPOC, refugee and immigrant communities. This summer, CUHCC launched Fresh Food Wednesdays in partnership with Sanneh Foundation, Second Harvest Heartland and Abbott. We provide free, fresh produce for our patients and community members, many of whom have limited access to high-quality foods.
