Services
Medical Care
We provide comprehensive medical services including sick visits, annual checkups, and wellness exams. Our offerings include vision, hearing, and nutrition screenings, along with immunizations for school enrollment. Patients receive care tailored to their specific needs through a patient-centered approach that emphasizes preventive care and chronic disease management. Our medical team works closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address both immediate and long-term health needs.
Dental Services
Our dental program offers restorative care including cleanings, extractions, fillings, and prosthetics. We provide both emergency walk-in services and scheduled appointments with a $75 deposit for new patients. Dental care follows a fee-for-service model with pediatric insurance accepted for select procedures. Our dental team prioritizes pain relief and oral health maintenance while addressing barriers to regular dental care for underserved populations.
Counseling
Christian mental health counseling services address emotional and psychological needs through individual and family therapy sessions. Our licensed counselors integrate faith-based perspectives with evidence-based practices to support patients dealing with stress, trauma, and mental health conditions. Services emphasize holistic wellness by connecting mental health with overall physical wellbeing in a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment.
Specialty Medical
Volunteer specialists provide limited orthopedic, ophthalmologic, and cardiology services among other specialties. These rotating offerings expand access to care that would otherwise be unaffordable for our patient population. Specialty consultations operate through scheduled clinics that coordinate with primary care providers to ensure comprehensive treatment approaches for complex medical conditions.
Prenatal Care
Our low-cost prenatal program includes group education visits for low-risk pregnancies, combining medical care with peer support. Certified providers monitor maternal and fetal health while preparing expectant mothers for childbirth and infant care. The program emphasizes early intervention and education to improve birth outcomes and promote long-term family wellness through a holistic approach to maternal health.
