Rick Donlon, MD
IM/Peds Physician & CEO of the Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF)
About the speaker
Rick Donlon grew up in New Orleans, and graduated from LSU School of Medicine in 1990. He and three medcial school classmates founded a network of Christian primary care health centers in inner-city Memphis, TN that grew to include dental, pharmacy, behavioral health, and pastoral services. In 2003, many clinic providers and staff, including Dr. Donlon, began to move their families into the low-income communities where the health centers were located. From that base, housechurches were formed and students and residents were trained to provide similar care in other low-resource communities across the United States and in unreached locales in North Africa, the Middle East, the Arabian Penisula, and Central Asia. In 2024, Dr. Donlon was appointed CEO of the Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF).
