Cooperative Christian Ministries & Clinic

Cooperative Christian Ministries & Clinic We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Hot Springs, AR. Purpose
CCMC is is guided by the teachings of Jesus and believe everyone is an image bearer of God.

The mission of CCMC is to improve life for our under-served, under-resourced neighbors by addressing physical, mental and spiritual health, practical concerns and needs, and by disrupting poverty. We are the hands and feet of faith that not only relieves human suffering, but does so in a way that preserves the dignity and respect of all we serve. We fulfill our mission by focusing on three areas of human need: Poverty Disruption, Charitable Healthcare Services, and Advocacy Services. Poverty Disruption
Our Bridges Out of Poverty initiative aims to disrupt generational poverty through training workshops with area businesses, organizations, and individuals to raise awareness concerning issues of poverty and provide opportunities to become agents of change. We also coordinate and administer Getting Ahead classes - free 14 week step-by-step classes offered throughout our community by various congregations and organizations - that teach people how to transition from poverty to stability and develop a strategic plan for sustainable success. Since initiating Getting Ahead in 2015, over 580 people have graduated from these classes. Classes are also offered at the Garland County Detention Center, resulting in a dramatic reduction of recidivism by those who complete the classes and are released. The state recidivism rate is 48%, but that of Detention Center Getting Ahead graduates is 22%. Charitable Healthcare Services
CCMC offers charitable medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy clinics to those who are uninsured, under-insured, and are no more than 200% above the federal poverty level. Patients are screened to ensure they meet our criteria. They are cared for by volunteer medical doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals. We also collaborate with area hospitals, clinics, and specialists to refer patients who may need specialized care or procedures that are beyond the capacity of our charitable clinics. Referral patient care is donated by our collaborative partners. Advocacy Services
CCMC Advocacy Services Coordinators meet regularly with people facing destabilizing circumstances who need assistance in accessing vital resources and services. We advocate on behalf of clients with landlords, utility companies, and government agencies. We assist people in need of securing their birth certificates, identification, medicaid, SNAP, and other benefits they qualify for. We work to prevent eviction for those on the verge of becoming homeless and facilitate rapid re-housing for those who have become homeless.

Today is Celebration of Life Day 🙏🏻

A day to honor children and grandchildren who bring joy, hope, and purpose into our lives.

Every child is a precious gift, deserving of dignity, stability, and the opportunity to thrive. A healthy, secure childhood begins with a healthy and supported home.

At CCMC, our mission is to improve life for the under-served and under-resourced. We know that when parents and guardians are supported with Charitable Medical Care, poverty disruption programs, and community resource navigation, some of the daily stress and uncertainty is lifted pand that directly impacts the well-being of their children.

By helping families access care, education, and stability, we are not just helping individuals in the moment, we are helping break the cycle of poverty for the next generation.

Today, we celebrate life by investing in families, strengthening (and stabilizing) homes, and standing alongside parents and guardians who are doing their best for the children they love. 💚

Happy Wednesday from CCMC

As we reach the middle of the week, we’re reminded why this work matters. Every day, CCMC serves individuals and families who are under-served and under-resourced, providing compassionate care, education, and support when it’s needed most.

We do this work because we believe everyone deserves dignity, access to care, and the opportunity for a healthier, more stable life, no matter their circumstances. Our mission is simple but powerful: to improve life for the under-served and under-resourced.

Through charitable medical care, medication assistance, patient education, and community resource navigation, CCMC walks alongside our neighbors during some of their most challenging moments. None of this happens without the generosity of our community.

If you’ve ever considered getting involved, today is a great day to take that step. Whether by donating, volunteering, or sharing our mission, your support helps make this work possible.

On this cold Tuesday, we’re reminded that now more than ever, kindness matters. As temperatures drop, more of our neighbors are facing difficult choices and greater needs. A warm meal, access to care, a helping hand, or simply knowing someone cares can make all the difference.

At CCMC, we’re here to walk alongside those who need support the most, but we can’t do it alone. You can help by donating, volunteering your time, or simply sharing our mission so others know help is available.

Our mission is to improve life for the under-served and under-resourced.

Thank you for being part of a community that shows up with compassion, generosity, and hope.

Nicholas Freeman, Marketing & Development Manager at CCMC, and Vallery Rodriguez, CCMC’s Community Resource Advocate, recently had the opportunity to attend the Great American Smokeout Lunch and Learn hosted by Ester Dixon of the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. We are thankful to Ester for the invitation and for leading such an informative and engaging workshop.

Events like this help our team stay informed and connected so we can continue sharing accurate, helpful information and resources with the individuals and families we serve.

We appreciate Ester for including CCMC in opportunities like this that strengthen collaboration and community education.

This Thursday, we’re reminded that healing looks different for everyone.
Sometimes it’s medical care.
Sometimes it’s medication assistance.
Sometimes it’s education, encouragement, or simply knowing someone cares.

At Cooperative Christian Ministries and Clinic, hope begins when our community comes together — when volunteers give their time, when donors give what they can, and when neighbors choose compassion.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can make a difference, this is your invitation.
Your time matters.
Your support matters.
Your generosity helps keep our doors open and our mission moving forward.

Together, we continue the work of healing, restoring, and improving life for the under-served and under-resourced in our community.

Midweek reminder of why we do what we do 💙
Happy Wednesday from CCMC.

As we reach the halfway point of the week, we’re taking a moment to pause and give thanks. We are truly blessed to serve our neighbors and walk alongside individuals and families who need care, education, and support.

None of this work happens alone. Every patient seen, every class taught, every resource shared is possible because of people like you, our volunteers, donors, and community partners who believe in compassion and dignity for all.

Whether you give your time, make a donation, share our mission, or simply encourage someone in need to reach out, you are making a real difference right here in our community. Together, we are improving life for the under-served and under-resourced.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering or supporting CCMC through a donation, now is a beautiful time to get involved. Your generosity helps us continue providing charitable medical care, education, and resource support to those who need it most.

Behind every step toward stability is someone willing to walk alongside another person.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight David Childs, a dedicated Getting Ahead facilitator whose service reflects the heart of this program. As David shared, service is about helping someone grow, recognize their potential, and believe change is possible. Through Getting Ahead, facilitators like David help participants break challenges into realistic steps—and sometimes witness powerful moments of realization, hope, and transformation.

The Getting Ahead program creates space for honest conversation, practical learning, and encouragement. Participants gain tools to understand their circumstances, build confidence, and create plans for a more stable future, supported by people who believe in them.

We’re excited to be launching two Getting Ahead classes in Hot Springs and one class in Malvern this month. We are also seeking volunteer facilitators for Garland County Detention Center classes, which meet once a week for seven weeks in the morning. These facilitators play a vital role in helping individuals prepare for reentry and long-term success.

If you feel called to serve, encourage, and make a lasting impact, we’d love for you to join us.

Together, we help people move from surviving to thriving.

Good things are happening at CCMC every day.

Through compassionate care, education, and support, we continue working alongside our neighbors to improve lives and strengthen our community. None of this happens alone—it’s made possible by volunteers who give their time and skills, and by supporters who believe in caring for others with dignity and respect.

Our mission is to improve life for the under-served and under-resourced, and that mission continues because people choose to show up, give back, and be part of something meaningful.

If you’re looking for a way to make a difference, you can help by volunteering, donating financially, or sharing our mission with others. Every act of support helps ensure that charitable medical care, education, and resources remain available for those who need them most.

Thank you for being part of the hope and healing in our community.

Today we celebrate the people who make CCMC’s pharmacy possible.

Our heartfelt thanks to Rhoda McMoran, Jim Carpenter, Rynne Belk, and Ana Arqueta for the time, care, and dedication they give to our patients every day. Because of this incredible team, neighbors in our community have access to medications, education, and support that are essential to their health and well-being.
