Overview
Christian Health Clinic was founded in 1999 and exists to show the light of God’s love to the community by providing a quality, patient-centered medical home that is affordable for those we serve in our community. We began as a collaborative outreach to our county, a dream of concerned and committed Christian physicians and community members, and became a faith-based federally qualified health center in 2010. Since our beginning, our core values of Love, Serve, and Heal have permeated our staff and our center. We have grown to include two sites, that serve 8,000 unique patients, with close to 30,000 visits per year. Our trauma-informed approach to our community, patients, and their families, allows us to minister to our county by following Jesus' example of loving our neighbors well. We provide family medicine, women's health, pediatrics, dental, and behavioral health services, including psychiatry. We have partnered with our local hospital to begin a Family Medicine Residency Program in 2024.
