Christ Community Health Services Augusta

What Christ Community Health Services Augusta does

Christ Community Health Services Augusta, Inc. is a faith-based, nonprofit federally qualified health center (FQHC) founded in 2007 that delivers primary medical, pediatric, dental, behavioral health, and chronic care management services to the underserved population of Augusta, Georgia and the surrounding Central Savannah River Area. The organization operates from five clinical sites (Medical District, Pediatrics on D'Antignac Street, Olde Town on Telfair Street, and Peach Orchard) and bills itself as a Patient-Centered Medical Home with HRSA-recognized quality credentials (PCMH 2023, Advancing HIT for Quality 2025, Advocacy Center of Excellence Silver 2025, ACCESS recognition).

The underlying technology stack is a conventional FQHC digital infrastructure built around the eClinicalWeb electronic health record system with a secure patient portal for messaging, scheduling, and test result delivery, supplemented by the healow Pay online billing platform and donation processing integrations with The Giving Block, Gemini Trust Exchange, and Renaissance Charitable Foundation to accept crypto and stock gifts. The Thrive Care Management Program is the principal value-added clinical product, offering chronic disease patients personalized care plans, 24/7 access, and multi-party care coordination across pharmacy, specialists, testing centers, and hospitals.

Revenue is generated from four blended streams: Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance reimbursements; HRSA/HHS federal grants tied to the FQHC designation; a sliding fee scale (medical $30-$75 discounted, $130-$300 non-discounted; dental $30-$75 discounted) that serves uninsured and underinsured patients up to 100% discount based on household income; and charitable donations. The business model is sales-led and direct-to-patient across the five Augusta clinics, with new patient acquisition via phone inquiries and appointment requests. Leadership comprises CEO Will J. Jackson III (MHA, University of Florida), Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer Robert Campbell, MD, and CFO Christie Densmore, supported by a board including Chair Johnie Tillman and Treasurer Will Evans.
