One of our dedicated Board Members, Michael Braun, and I just returned from a very energizing national conference in Atlanta, GA – the annual gathering of the Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF). Since the early days in the late 1970s when there were only a handful of centers like ours around the country, CCHF has grown to represent over a hundred clinics who are committed to living out the gospel through healthcare among the poor. We were inspired, challenged, and encouraged and have returned to Rochester with renewed vigor in carrying out our mission locally. Part of what was so encouraging was discovering other colleagues in our region who share our vision and calling and who have, in many ways, advanced beyond us in organizational development. We’re looking forward to networking with colleagues from Buffalo, Albany, Pittsburgh, New York City and beyond in the months ahead as we seek to advance and even expand the work we’ve been called to do in Rochester.
