Live Oaks Clinic, part of Christ Health Center, is a faith-based mental health clinic and community pharmacy dedicated to providing compassionate, affordable care in Birmingham’s Woodlawn neighborhood. Designed with the budget-conscious needs of a nonprofit, the facility includes 10 exam rooms, therapy and meeting spaces, and collaborative provider areas, fostering integrated care for adults and children.
Located at a key intersection, the clinic prioritizes pedestrian access. A cantilevered roof marks entry points and shelters a community plaza for neighborhood gatherings. As Alabama faces a severe shortage of mental health resources, this project is a step toward closing that gap—offering dignity, hope, and healing to an underserved community.
