Background and History

Charis Medical Center was established with a clear, noble mission in mind: to build a place for healthcare that would be a union of medicine and compassion. The practice was set up with strong Christian values at the base; healthcare is more than just an occupation, it is a call of duty to serve the community with grace and excellence.

Understanding the connection between physical ailments and emotional or psychological stressors, the clinic has been built in a way to distinguish itself from the fragmented health care. For many years, the practice has transformed from being a primary care facility into a multi-disciplinary center of wellness. By constantly developing and adding new services such as psychiatric care, medically supervised weight loss programs, and aesthetic treatments, Charis Medical Center became a cornerstone of wellness in the Colorado Springs region.
