Family Christian Health Center

What Family Christian Health Center does

Family Christian Health Center (FCHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) providing comprehensive primary and specialty healthcare to underserved populations in Harvey, Illinois and surrounding Southland communities. The organization operates four clinical sites — Harvey Main Campus, Harvey Maternal Child Health + Wellness, Lynwood, and Dolton (pediatric) — supplemented by a Community Connect mobile clinic. Service lines span family practice, OBGYN/maternal child health, pediatrics, dental, urgent care (Today Care), behavioral and mental health, and chronic disease health management. The faith-based mission integrates physical, spiritual, emotional, psychological, and financial care dimensions.

The technology stack is built on Epic electronic health records with a MyFCHC Patient Portal (EzPatientPortal) supporting 24/7 appointment requests, secure messaging, prescription refills, online payments, and electronic patient forms. Self-service check-in pads operate at the front desk, and an onsite 340B pharmacy (Local Health Pharmacy) provides discounted medications and free home delivery. Patient-facing digital surface is functional but not proprietary or AI-enabled.

Revenue is generated through a mix of patient service fees (Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial PPO), federal Health Center Program grants under 42 U.S.C. 254b, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, and a sliding fee scale for uninsured and underinsured patients below 200% of the federal poverty level. FQHC status provides Federal Public Health Service deemed status and FTCA malpractice coverage. The organization is independently governed by a Board of Directors, led by CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Lisa Green (DO, MPH), with Les Hockenberry serving as Medical Director/Quality. Patient acquisition is community-led through mobile outreach, local partnerships, faith-based engagement, and earned media coverage.
