Overview

Mission

Christian Healthcare Centers provides affordable, quality and comprehensive healthcare services to the body of Christ and the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Christian Healthcare Centers provided direct primary medical services to patients from 40 Michigan counties and 18 states from three locations Grand Rapids, Holland and Newaygo, MI. At the end of 2025, CHC had 3,766 active members/patients. The organization employs nine licensed medical providers. Through CHCs MemberCare Assistance Program, several hundred uninsured, under-served individuals and households received services at little or no cost. CHC Newaygo operates in one of Michigans most medically underserved counties, which is predominantly rural and has a shortage of medical services The county residents are forced to drive longer distances to access care and CHCs presence has alleviated some of this hardship.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 87% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
