Our Christian Health Services opened its doors in 2014 with the mission to share the love of Christ by providing high quality medical and behavioral healthcare.

We have entered into several underserved communities around our area and currently operate out of six locations. Our team believes in providing the highest level of medical, behavioral, and spiritual care to all of our patients regardless of their income level or insurance status.
