New Partnership | Offering Free and Low-Cost Medical Care

Talitha Coffee, meet Talitha from Claris Health?! That’s what we said when we connected with Talitha Phillips, CEO of Claris Health. But let me back up… As you know, here at Talitha Coffee, we provide a comprehensive care network for those affected by s•x trafficking, which includes job training, support networks, and health services. Because of this we are always looking for mission-aligned partners that can come around and support survivors of S•x trafficking. So when we discovered that the CEO’s name of Claris Health was also named Talitha, it felt like destiny!

So drum roll please… we would like to announce one of our new care network partners… CLARIS HEALTH, and I know they are just as excited to partner with us here at Talitha Coffee.

Here’s a little more about what Claris Health is up to and why we’re excited about this partnership: Since 1976, Claris has been a beacon of hope for the greater Los Angeles community, evolving from a modest resource center into a licensed, multi-site health center. Claris’ patient-led, integrated model of compassionate care addresses the whole person, empowering each family member for a collectively healthier future. By offering free and low-cost medical care, therapy, education, and seamless service processes, Claris ensures ongoing support through direct services and a network of over 340 community partners.

With clinic locations in West and South Los Angeles, a Mobile Medical Unit, and a Virtual Care Program, Claris provides critical services to underserved communities. Claris Health specializes in assisting those facing unintended pregnancies or s•xual health concerns, employing a patient-led approach that respects and restores dignity, particularly for trauma survivors. By combining case management with medical care, Claris meets the complex needs of patients, offering mental health services, housing assistance, public benefits, and a listening ear, thus connecting patients to essential resources in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

We love keeping you updated on what we are doing here at Talitha Coffee and who we are partnering with to make a difference in the lives of those affected by s•x trafficking! And again, thank you for purchasing Talitha Coffee!
