Yes, you are in the right place. Medical Campus Outreach (MCO) - Philadelphia is now a ministry of Christian Community Health Fellowship.
For over a quarter of a century MCO-Philadelphia has proclaimed Christ and made disciples on Philadelphia’s healthcare campuses. Tenth Presbyterian Church has faithfully provided spiritual oversight to MCO all those years. In 2021 the leadership at Tenth felt that with the growth of MCO, they should release them to find oversight that was more focused in equipping and engaging Christians in healthcare to faithfully follow Jesus. Tenth Presbyterian continues to support MCO in financial, in-kind and relational ways.
When the staff and Advisory Board of MCO asked CCHF to provide that oversight and covering, we were humbled. CCHF (Christian Community Health Fellowship) is a 40+ year old organization that has partnered with MCO-Philadelphia almost since the beginning. At the beginning of 2022 the Board of CCHF and the Advisory Board of MCO agreed to make MCO-Philadelphia part of the CCHF ministry.
CCHF is a nationwide community of Christian health professionals who are committed to living out the gospel through healthcare, understanding medicine as a calling to serve Christ. While almost half of the CCHF community are students, academics and practitioners who work in secular settings, most of our members work in clinics that strive to deliver distinctively Christian care in underserved areas. Esperanza Health Center, the long-time partner of Summer Medical Institute (SMI) is a good example. There are over 300 Christian clinics in the CCHF community, and many are served or have been pioneered by SMI graduates.
