From Conception to Community: Legacy Interview with Dr. Lance Loberg
In this special legacy interview, Dr. Lance Loberg takes us back to the origins of the Christian Community Health Fellowship—when it was just an idea sparked by a medical student's research project and a shared vision with co-founder H Spees. From his early encounters with Dr. John Perkins during the civil rights era, to shaping CCHF's name, motto, and first publications, Dr. Loberg shares how faith, medicine, and community development came together in the late 1970s to launch a national movement.
Along the way, he reflects on decades of serving in community and migrant health centers, working with Native American tribes, and providing care in county jails. This conversation is a living link to CCHF's roots and a challenge to keep "upholding the vision" of living out the gospel through healthcare with the poor.
