“Christian Community Health Fellowship: Living out the gospel through health care among the poor.”
About CCHF
Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF) envisions a national movement of God's people who choose daily to promote health and healing within marginalized communities in the name of Christ.
CCHF was formed in response to health care ministry needs in poor U.S. communities during the 1970's and continues to respond to these enduring needs. Technical assistance for new and existing medical clinics is an important component of the work of CCHF. Countless individuals and groups seek advice and guidance related to starting or improving their clinics. CCHF connects these inquiries with the strong experience of our individual and organizational partners. Student Outreach is also a priority of our organization. Representatives of the Speakers Bureau are sent to student groups across the United States to encourage and call students to a missional understanding of their training and vocation.
The CCHF National Conference is held annually and provides networking, training, and inspirational opportunities for practitioners, administrators, and staff. CCHF also publishes a quarterly journal (Health & Development), assists students in finding preceptorship and other learning experiences with Christian health care professionals who serve poor and medically under-served communities, and develops additional networking and technical assistance programs for medical professionals.
CCHF has over 1,200 CCHF individual partners and 200 clinics involved with health care in inner-city and rural communities throughout the U.S.
