Pediatrician (MD or DO)
Overview
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 were founded by a network of churches across our city that pooled resources together to show love for their neighbors in a tangible way. 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. In 2019 , we became a Federally Qualified Health Center and this step has allowed us to expand services and locations to better care for our communities. We hope you will consider joining our team.
Mission & Passions
We believe that caring for the physical and spiritual needs of our patients go hand in hand. We look for committed followers of Christ to serve as our providers and leaders across our organization. Our team starts each day with a devotion time across our clinics as an opportunity to encourage each other and keep our mission in focus. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality healthcare and we believe that Christ makes healthcare better so we look to incorporate our missional drive within multiple aspects of our patient care.
