Faith-Based FQHC Seeking a Pediatrician

A faith-based federally qualified health center, offers accessible, affordable high-quality primary care through five centers across the area. Together, they create medical homes that provide urgently needed primary health care to thousands of underserved children and adults. They are currently seeking a BC/BE Pediatric associate. This center was born in 1992 from a conviction that God has a special concern for the poor. Providers attended church in the community and simply spent time with their neighbors, all aimed at developing relationships. They were better able to understand the “felt need” of our community firsthand by getting to know their neighbors. The insight gained in these relationships and the discussion of available health care resources to the community led to this establishment. They started with mostly volunteers but steadily grew to where they needed mainly paid staff. In response to community input, they focused on establishing a health center that addressed the needs of the whole family, from medical care to behavioral health care to spiritual care. They now has nearly 40,000 patient visits per year and operates out of five locations. They are bigger, and more complex, but still want to touch one heart at a time with the healing power of Jesus Christ. Their mission is to give honor to Jesus Christ by providing accessible, comprehensive health care in partnership with their patients and community leading to healthy, changed lives.
