Background and History

Charis Medical Center was founded and is led by Dr. Linus Akamangwa, MD, a family medicine physician who built the practice around a mission of compassionate, holistic healthcare rooted in Christian principles. The practice’s name — “Charis,” meaning grace — reflects its philosophy that God is the author of the healing process, and Dr. Akamangwa incorporates prayer into care plans for patients who desire it, while welcoming all people regardless of background.

The practice combines traditional medicine with complementary and holistic therapies, aiming to address the whole person. Over time it has expanded beyond primary care to include psychiatric services, medically-guided weight loss, ketogenic diet programs, body sculpting, and aesthetic treatments, serving the Colorado Springs community in a warm, faith-friendly environment.
