About Christian Health Care Center

Christian Health Care Center (CHCC) was founded in 1956 by a group of local residents from local Reformed and Christian Reformed Churches, that had the vision of providing healthcare for the residents of Lynden and the surrounding area. Today, CHCC - a non-profit organization open to anyone regardless of race, sex, or religion - provides a continuum of high-quality, family-centered elder-care services in a compassionate and loving environment consistent with the Christian principles on which the institution was founded.

Christian Health Care Center is located in the beautiful, historic Lynden Wash., which has a strong Dutch heritage which can be seen in the downtown businesses and the many activities through out the year. We are situated with views of the Cascade Mountains to the east and the Canadian Rockies and farmlands to the north.

We provide care for medically complex, sub-acute, short-term rehabilitation, as well as for long-term care residents, 24 hours a day. Christian Health Care Center is designed to meet the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of each of our residents. Our programs reflect our firm belief that each resident deserves to live in comfort with dignity and respect.
