CCHS provides medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and spiritual health services to the underserved. They provide dental education as well as preventative, diagnostic, and restorative care to those below the poverty line, HIV/AIDS patients, as well as special needs patients.  Residents will have the opportunity to provide services that include preventive, fixed and removeable restorative endodontics, pedo, and oral surgery.  While the site does not place implants, they do the occasional implant restoration.  Christ Community offers a resident the opportunity to serve the underserved as well as the opportunity to become an invaluable clinician.
