Medical Services
Twenty-four-hour medical care is provided by staff physicians, nurse practitioners, and a team of nurses and nursing assistants.  They evaluate and treat patients, perform tests, change dressings, manage medications and provide immunizations and pre and post operative care.

Patients come to Christ House with a variety of illnesses and injuries, including bone fractures, cancer, lung diseases, foot and leg ulcerations, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, hypertension, liver disease, kidney failure, burns and frostbite. Most of our patients have more than one diagnosis.  Substance abuse and mental illness further compromise the health of many of our patients.  The staff also makes special arrangements for hospitalization, follow-up care, and visits to medical specialists such as cardiologists, oncologists, and physical therapists.

Connecting our patients with specialty care and providing them transportation and accompaniment to their appointments is important to maintaining patients’ continuum of care.  Christ House provides these referral and transportation services for all patients.
