In a time when most businesses and consumers are saving rather than spending, the North Side Christian Health Center is thinking big — very big.
Two of those grants came from the Recovery Act — one $1.3 million grant from URSA and one $99,785 grant from the Increase in Demand for Services Fund — and one $200,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

“We are in a very, very exciting time that is giving us the privilege and the awesome responsibility of delivering top quality, holistic health care to the Northside and surrounding communities,” Cephas said.
In addition to adding a dentist, Cephas hopes the center will be able to hold more evening hours, and more hours at its Northview Heights satellite location. Currently, the Northview Heights center is only open 20 hours a week. Cephas wants to double that time to 40 hours a week.
He also wants to increase the scope of the center’s pediatric program. Right now the center has one part-time pediatrician with the hope of bringing in another full-time doctor.
“We have a very special mission here,” he said. “We don’t just treat and street our patients here. We address the physical, the psychological and the spiritual.”
