In July 2000, C-Health opened their first clinic in a small trailer across the street from the hospital in Lebanon, Virginia. Despite their limited resources, they soon were recognized regionally and won three Health Care Heroes Awards for their innovations in rural health care, as well as for their contributions to help the poor receive free medications. In 2003, they opened another clinic in the neighboring community of Honaker, Virginia. Their patient numbers grew quickly, and in just five years, they had over 10,000 active patients and thirty staff members.

In May 2006, they moved from their small trailer in Lebanon to an 8,500 square foot state-of-the-art health care facility in order to better serve the needs of their growing patient population. In August 2010, C-Health moved to the other side of Russell County and opened their St. Paul clinic.
