About us

A community clinic that grew with its community

Black Canyon Community Health Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides general and preventive health care that is accessible to all. Our mission is to reduce barriers to care and to inspire hope, health and vitality.

Dr. Randy Hancock, a primary care physician, founded the clinic in 1999 as a small-town practice in Black Canyon City. He wanted everyone in the area to have a place to get care, regardless of their ability to pay.

We serve rural communities across central Yavapai County, where getting to a doctor can mean a long drive. Our team of a physician, physician assistants and nurse practitioners brings everyday primary care closer to home, and visiting specialists provide some care on site.
