Christ Community Health Services Opens New Site

The doors of Christ Community Health Services’ new site opened April 7th with great enthusiasm in the Hickory Hill neighborhood of Memphis.  This community of over 30,000 people relied largely on emergency rooms for medical care; the opening of the Hickory Hill CCHS means access to quality primary care services by community physicians. 

In celebration, the grand opening included attendance and remarks by Senator Lamar Alexander, Representative Steve Cohen, and Burt Waller (Executive Director of Christ Community Health Services).

Founded in 1995, Christ Community Health Services has four other sites–Broad Ave., Frayser, South Third, and Orange Mound–and focuses on fulfilling the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of the underserved through health centers and outreach programs.
