Get to Know Our Providers

Christine Schlais, PA-C

Christine Schlais recently joined LCHC as a Physician Assistant. During her time studying at the University of Colorado, she heard about the significant impact of LCHC in the Lawndale community and was compelled to be a part of it. Christine is eager to devote her career to primary care at LCHC and serve patients with the love of Christ. Her interest in being a Physician Assistant stems from her growing up in a family of medical providers who empowered her to serve those in need. "I saw myself fitting into that calling," Christine says. She wants her patients to know that she offers a welcoming space to share honestly and openly. As a bilingual provider in English and Spanish, Christine encourages her patients to express their experiences and stories in the language with which they are most comfortable. She looks forward to seeing many new patients and working together to develop a plan to help you reach your health goals. 

She says, "As we love God more that helps us love other people. Healing in healthcare is connected to the whole person because we’re not just bodies, we’re not just spirits, we’re both. Working alongside patients to address physical and spiritual needs is really compelling to me."
