PORTLAND, OR: Central City Concern (CCC), Portland’s non-profit serving people impacted by homelessness, poverty and addictions since 1979, has hired a new psychiatrist to enhance their behavioral health care services. Christopher J. Hobart, MD, joined CCC on July 18.
“Chris will be a tremendous asset to our team, providing direct psychiatric care for our programs,” says John Bischof, MD, senior medical director for CCC’s Specialty Behavioral Health. “His experience in community psychiatry in San Francisco and Denver will bring a wealth of expertise to the people we serve.”
Most recently, Dr. Hobart worked for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless at the Stout Street Health
Center in Denver. Prior to that, for seven years he was a senior psychiatrist for the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Tom Waddell Urban Health Clinic, providing direct care in the Tenderloin area. Dr. Hobart graduated from Colby College and Mills College, and attended medical school and psychiatry residency at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Hobart will provide direct psychiatric care at CCC’s Old Town Recovery Center, Imani Center and the Letty Owings Center.
