Christopher LaCross, MD

Dr. Christopher LaCross is a board-certified internal medicine physician with a long-standing commitment to caring for people who are too often overlooked by traditional healthcare systems.

Lifeline Health provides confidential, accessible testing for HIV, Hepatitis C, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Early identification is the foundation of effective infectious disease prevention, treatment, and long-term health stability.

Testing services are delivered through community-based models designed to reduce barriers that often delay diagnosis. We prioritize environments that are approachable, respectful, and aligned with the needs of the populations we serve.

Accessible, Low-Barrier Screening

Programs are structured to remove logistical, financial, and psychological obstacles that prevent individuals from accessing testing in traditional healthcare settings.

  • Confidential HIV testing
  • Hepatitis C screening and confirmation
  • Comprehensive STI testing
  • Risk assessment and prevention counseling
  • Guidance on next steps and follow-up

Testing as the Entry Point to Care

Testing is not treated as an isolated encounter. Individuals who receive a positive result are supported through coordinated linkage to care pathways designed to reduce delays and prevent loss to follow-up.

By integrating testing into a broader continuum of care, Lifeline Health strengthens early detection efforts and supports measurable public health impact.
