Christian Health Service Corps

What Christian Health Service Corps does

Christian Health Service Corps (CHSC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation incorporated in Texas and headquartered in Fruitvale, TX (PO Box 132), founded in 2010 by Greg and Candi Seager following their tenure with Mercy Ships beginning in 2004. The organization recruits Christian healthcare professionals — physicians, surgeons, nurses, anesthesia providers, physician assistants, and health educators — and places them at 30+ partner mission hospitals across 27 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Placements are structured as either long-term missionary service (3+ year commitments) or short-term Reserve Corps volunteer assignments ranging from two weeks to one year. Geographic restrictions apply: CHSC only accepts volunteers licensed in the United States or Canada.

CHSC's service portfolio is built around four pillars: direct medical care for mothers and children, surgical care (including emergency and C-sections), medical and surgical training for local physicians and healthcare workers, and community health programs at the grassroots level. The organization does not sell products; medical services are delivered free of charge to patients at partner hospitals. Supporting infrastructure includes the Global Health and Tropical Medicine Course (GHTM), the evidence-based guide 'When Healthcare Hurts' (2nd edition), Medical Missions 101 blog series, and Medical Missions TV on YouTube. The organization is ECFA-accredited, GuideStar Transparency certified, and an Excellence in Giving member, signaling financial accountability standards to its donor base.

Revenue mechanics rely entirely on charitable contributions. The primary streams are individual donations, church partnerships, corporate sponsorship and matching gifts, deputized missionary fundraising (where candidates raise their own support under CHSC's IRS-compliant structure), and Reserve Corps volunteer program fees. As a founder-led organization, Greg Seager serves as CEO with oversight of day-to-day US operations including missionary pastoral care, counseling, church relations, accounting, and training preparation. CHSC has no parent company, no external investors, and no subsidiaries, and operates virtually with remote staff deployed to partner facilities globally.

Direct peers

• Mercy Ships: Operates hospital ships delivering free surgical and medical care to underserved regions; CHSC's founders originated from Mercy Ships, and both deploy Christian healthcare professionals to low-access regions using a donation-funded model.
• CMDA (Christian Medical & Dental Associations): US-based association of Christian healthcare professionals that mobilizes doctors and dentists for domestic and international medical missions; addresses the same US-licensed Christian healthcare talent pool CHSC draws from.
• Medsend: Provides student-loan repayment support to healthcare professionals entering long-term missions; CHSC lists Medsend as a core financial partner addressing the same missionary-deployment pipeline.
• World Medical Missions: A program of Samaritan's Purse that posts short-term medical volunteers at mission hospitals; CHSC explicitly partners with World Medical Missions for short-term placements, making it a directly comparable volunteer-deployment model.
• Samaritan's Purse: Evangelical relief organization running World Medical Missions and disaster-response medical programs; partners with CHSC on hospital infrastructure (Egbe) and shares the Christian healthcare-deployment model.
• PAACS (Pan-African College of Christian Surgeons): Trains African surgeons in Christ-centered surgical residency programs at mission hospitals; a CHSC missionary leads the Kijabe PAACS program, making the organizations operationally intertwined in surgical training and capacity-building.
• SIM (Society of Interior Missions): Legacy global Christian mission organization operating hospitals, community health, and missionary placement programs; CHSC co-develops the Egbe Hospital Revitalization Project with SIM, indicating direct operational overlap in healthcare missions.

Broad incumbents

• International Medical Corps: Global humanitarian organization delivering healthcare, training, and relief services in conflict-affected and low-resource settings; shares the deployment-to-multiple-countries profile with CHSC but operates at significantly larger scale as a secular incumbent.
• Partners in Health: Global health nonprofit operating hospitals and training programs in low-income countries, focused on the poor; comparable care-and-training model but secular, larger, and integrated with academic medical centers.
• Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): Large secular humanitarian medical organization delivering healthcare in conflict and crisis zones globally; comparable operational footprint and patient-volume profile but with a secular mandate and far larger budget, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct faith-based peer.
