Catherine’s Health Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center providing primary medical, dental, behavioral health, and health support services. Headquartered in northeast Grand Rapids, Catherine’s Health Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center. We provide access to high quality, affordable, and compassionate health care for the underserved throughout West Michigan. Alphonsus church in the Creston neighborhood. While not directly affiliated with one religious group and no longer a volunteer-run clinic in a basement, we continue to work from the heart of our mission to provide exceptional health care for those who are most vulnerable in our community. Today, Catherine’s provides 6,500 comprehensive primary medical, behavioral health, dental, and health promotion/disease prevention services annually. Our namesake, Catherine McAuley, lived in the late 1700s and established the Sisters of Mercy. She dedicated her life to serving the poor, and we are inspired by her example of selflessness and solidarity. We serve the community through the generosity of those who share our belief that no one should have to choose between life's necessities and basic medical care.

At Community Health Centers, patients aren’t just receiving care, they’re helping lead it.

Every CHC board is made up of at least 51% patients, meaning major decisions about services, priorities, and programs are made by the people who rely on them most.

This unique model keeps health centers grounded in the real needs of their communities — and it works.

On Patient Appreciation Day, we celebrate the voices, experiences, and leadership of the patients who power our mission.

Community Health Centers couldn’t do this work without the talented and dedicated people who make it all happen.

To the more than 310,000 (about 70 of those are at Catherine's!!) clinical and non-clinical staff across the country -- thank you 💙💙💙

Whether you’re providing care, managing schedules, keeping buildings running, or supporting patients in a hundred other ways, you are the heart of the health center mission.

From August 3-9, we celebrate National Health Center Week. This is a time to highlight the incredible work being done by community health centers around the country, and all the people who make the work possible!

2025 marks 60 years since Community Health Centers were founded and began drastically improving our nation’s health. Today, 1 in 10 Americans receive care through a community health center like Catherine's.

Catherine's is also preparing to celebrate a milestone anniversary of its own! 2026 is the 30th anniversary of Catherine's Health Center, and we can't wait to celebrate with you all!

THANK YOU for ensuring that our neighbors have access to the high quality healthcare they need, when they need it, where they need it. Together, we honor our past and look forward to the future of serving our neighbors!

Have you seen Dr. Van-Go out in the wild yet? Our new mobile medical van has officially been in business for four weeks, bringing high-quality and compassionate care to our unhoused neighbors. This exam room-on-wheels allows us to bring preventative and convenience care, substance use disorder treatment, vaccines, medications for severe mental illness, and more directly to where people are.

If you see us out in the community, be sure to give Dr. Van-Go a friendly honk and wave!
