What do 14 deacons, one farmhouse, and 36,525 days have in common? of caring. century A It all began in 1911 when 14 deacons from the Reformed tradition gathered in Paterson to discuss a topic rarely mentioned in the early 20th century: mental illness. With their commitment to provide physical, mental, and spiritual care in a small farmhouse, Christian Health Care Center (CHCC) has grown from a 17-bed psychiatric hospital to include a broad spectrum of mental-health and elder-care services with 12 expansive buildings on 78 acres in Wyckoff and Hawthorne, with a satellite location in Wayne. CHCC’s vision has brought services to thousands of people in our communities.
