Auxiliary plans Spring Fundraiser From rarely mentioned ... to fully embraced. One hundred years ago, 14 deacons from the Reformed tradition addressed an issue that few would talk about: care for the mentally ill in Bergen and Passaic counties. The deacons made a commitment to build a hospital to provide physical, mental, and spiritual care based on Christian principles. From a small 17-bed psychiatric hospital in a farmhouse, Christian Health Care Center (CHCC) has grown today 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.
