HISTORY

The East Liberty Family Health Care Center was founded in 1982 in the basement of Eastminster Presbyterian Church, in the heart of East Liberty. The Center is dedicated to “showing God’s love, known in Jesus Christ, by providing quality, whole-person health care to all, especially the poor.” The Center has been distinctively faith-based since its inception, offering prayer with every visit, but never discriminating on the basis of religion. Every person is made in God’s image, worthy of good care, welcome at the Center. The Center has for nearly 24 years provided quality “whole-person” healthcare for all people, without regard to ability to pay. It has grown from a three-room office in a church basement to a dual-location, 52 FTE-staff, full-service health care center, and in 1998 opened a second office in Lincoln-Lemington to help accommodate its (now) more than 40,000 patient encounters each year.
