Christy Chermak serves as the Executive Director of Watermark Health, a ministry of Watermark Community Church. She was born in New Jersey and moved to Texas with her family in the eighth grade. After high school, she attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas. While working on her master’s degree in environmental engineering at SMU, her life was changed when a stranger shared the gospel with her at a football game and invited her to Watermark Community Church, where she understood Christ’s sacrifice for the first time. After an engineering ministry internship in Costa Rica, Christy spent five years in the corporate world, but her passion was serving people in need through Watermark’s External Focus ministry. Through that service, she eventually joined staff at Watermark as the Executive Director of Watermark Health. Watermark Health operates two urgent care clinics serving those who are uninsured or underinsured. Patients are not charged for visiting the clinics, but are instead asked only for an optional $10 donation. Watermark Health is also currently operating a drive-through COVID-19 testing site at the church to serve people who otherwise could not afford the test.
