Hope Counseling Center, formerly known as Faith Community Health (FCH), was founded in 2009 by a dedicated group of local faith leaders and healthcare professionals. Driven by a shared concern for the lack of affordable healthcare in the Branson area, they established a clinic in the former Branson Elementary School building. This clinic initially focused on providing essential primary care services to uninsured and underinsured patients.

Over the years, FCH expanded significantly, moving to a larger facility and broadening its range of services. These included not only primary care but also mental health services, vision care, and Missouri's first charitable pharmacy. The clinic thrived through a combination of grants, donations, and patient fees.

Today, we are excited to announce our transition to Hope Counseling Center. This change marks our commitment to focusing exclusively on providing affordable access to mental health services. Fourteen years ago, we opened our doors to address the pressing need for affordable primary care, and we continue our journey by providing mental health services to our community in need.

As we evolve, we remain steadfast in our mission to meet the community's changing healthcare needs. At Hope Counseling Center, we are dedicated to offering compassionate, high-quality mental health care to those who need it most.
