ABOUT US
The Jonesboro Church Health Center is a non-profit clinic that opened in January of 1992 by a group of medical professionals, ministers, and civic-minded individuals who recognized the need to provide affordable health care for the uninsured peoples within the community. Since opening, the JCHC has provided low cost, high quality health care services to the low income, uninsured patients (without private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare) in our community and surrounding areas. The JCHC serves as a primary care provider for underserved patients that would otherwise go without health care. The community served is largely located in the rural Mississippi Delta Region, located throughout northeast Arkansas and into southeast Missouri.
Honoring One of Our Founders - Dr. rainwater
Dr. Weldon Rainwater dedicated his life to serving others.
​
For 45 years, he cared for children as a pediatrician, offering not only medical expertise but compassion, reassurance, and a steady presence to generations of families. His commitment to healing extended beyond the exam room. As a veteran of the U.S. Army, a man of deep faith, and an active member of his church and community, Dr. Rainwater lived a life rooted in service.
​
He believed that caring for others was not just a profession—it was a calling.
​
That calling helped shape the foundation of what we now know as the Jonesboro Church Health Center. Dr. Rainwater was among those who believed that access to healthcare should never depend on a person’s ability to pay. He gave his time, his leadership, and his heart to building something that would care for people long after his own years of practice had ended.
​
Today, that legacy lives on in a powerful and tangible way.
​
Under the leadership of Medical Director Dr. Rick Tate, and through the generous service of volunteer physicians Dr. Kevin Ganong, Dr. Douglas Maglothin, Dr. James Maxwell, Dr. James Nahmias, and Dr. Mark Sifford, that same calling continues to be answered.
These doctors give their time to care for patients who might otherwise go without. They show up not for recognition, but because they believe in compassionate, accessible healthcare for all.
​
Because of founders' vision, and because of the physicians who carry it forward today, lives are being changed every single day.
​
This National Doctor’s Day, we honor a legacy of service that continues to grow—one patient, one visit, one act of compassion at a time.
