Executive Director
Chris Mastoridis started his position as Executive Director for our rapidly growing organization in May 2019.
Having grown up in St. Augustine and earning his bachelor’s degree from Flagler College, Chris went on to earn his master’s degree in Sports Medicine from Springfield College in Massachusetts. For the past 20+ years Chris has worked in the New York Metro area in roles such as the National Director of Franchise Operations for HealthForce, Inc, as well as serving as Regional Director of Business Development for the largest Non-Profit Home Health Agency in the country, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. Most recently, Chris served as a Regional Director of Business Development for a home health agency in South Florida.
“Given my wife and I’s roots in St. Johns County, when I reviewed the mission and reputation of the Wildflower organization, I knew this was an opportunity that was too good to pass up. Having been in the healthcare industry for a long time, I am well aware of the large gaps in care that many people face due to economic constraints. Wildflower Healthcare provides a tremendous and invaluable service to those that need it most in St. Johns County. I look forward to being a part of that growing solution, and helping people get access to services they desperately need. After all, it’s the main reason I got into healthcare in the first place… to help others.”
Our History
GSHC expanded services in 1998 to offer monthly women’s medical clinics. In conjunction with New Mt. Moriah Christian Ministry in West Augustine and the St. Johns County Health Department, GSHC created the Wildflower Project in 2007 to provide pre-conceptual care for young women.
The GSHC Board of Directors responded to this demand by initiating a capital campaign to raise funds to build a permanent facility for dental and medical services. The underserved population had shifted from Lincolnville to West Augustine and New Mt. Moriah Christian Ministry donated land on Herbert Street for the Wildflower Clinic. Community response was tremendous. Thanks to generous grants, financial contributions, and in-kind donations of supplies, labor and services, the clinic opened debt-free and began patient care in January 2010.
As demand increased, GSHC expanded healthcare services beyond the Wildflower Clinic through community outreach programs. In 2018, the GSHC board rebranded the Wildflower Clinic as Wildflower Healthcare to reflect the scope of services offered beyond a single clinic location and to highlight our greater community impact. Although the name has changed, our mission remains the same: to ensure access to quality, compassionate healthcare that improves the lives of people we serve in our community.
Wildflower Healthcare will continue to respond to the changing healthcare needs of St. Johns County and contribute to a more effective healthcare system for our community for years to come.
