OUR HISTORY

Healing with Purpose Since 1993

North Side Christian Health Center (NSCHC) was founded in 1993 when three physicians, Dr. Todd Wahrenbeger, Dr. Mark Guy, and Dr. Daniel Holt, answered a spiritual call to live their Christian principles through healing work.

One primary contributor to the early development of the health center was Allegheny Center Alliance Church. Additional supporters were Mercy Hospital, Global Links, and Ascension Church. PNC Bank provided a donated storefront on East Ohio Street, illustrating the true definition of a “community” health center. The interior modifications were made with help from contractors and church volunteers, converting the space into a functioning health center by installing exam rooms, a lab, and offices. Initially, volunteers provided health services and office support. As the needs grew and the patient volume increased, physicians and support staff were employed to keep pace with the community demands.
