Building healthier futures with love and excellence
Mission:
LifeSpring demonstrates the love of Jesus Christ by providing exemplary pediatric, community, and developmental-behavioral healthcare for the families we serve.
Vision:
A community transformed by healthcare that is preventative, relational, holistic, culturally appropriate, and empowering.
Integrated Approach:
LifeSpring is family-centered, recognizing that health outcomes improve when the entire family, not just the child, receives support. Our two-generational approach meets the needs of both children and parents, integrating medical care, education, and resources to help families thrive physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Pediatrics
LifeSpring helps prevent illnesses and injuries by promoting comprehensive care including preventive services, such as immunizations, well-child visits, and anticipatory guidance, leading to improved health outcomes and reduced sick visits, reduced emergency room visits, and the early identification of behavioral and developmental concerns.
Advocacy and Outreach
Our community health workers provide culturally appropriate health education and navigation, helping our families to access healthcare and social services. They advocate by supporting individual and community needs. CHWs provide screening, referrals, and follow-up care coordination.
They are trusted partners to our families, building relationships and providing emotional support.
Developmental-Behavioral Health
LSDBH expands access to mental health services by offering comprehensive developmental diagnostic evaluations conducted by pediatric developmental specialists to diagnose conditions such as autism and ADHD. Mental health counseling for children, caregivers, and family groups is offered both on-site and through targeted community centers in partnership with the City of Chattanooga.
