Dr. Scott Morris
An ordained Methodist minister, Morris founded Church Health in 1987 to provide quality, affordable healthcare for uninsured working people and their families. With financial support from foundations, churches, corporations, and individuals — along with the volunteer help of doctors, nurses, dentists, and others — the organization has grown to become the largest faith-based healthcare organization of its type in the country. Contrasted to its humble origins as a two-person operation on its first day, Church Health served more than 54,000 patients over the last year alone. Morris is the author of several books, including God, Health, and Happiness. He recently oversaw the organization’s move to Crosstown Concourse, which saw Church Health expand its facilities for wellness programs with additions like a teaching kitchen and creative movement studio.
