Christopher Leander, MD

Christopher Leander, MD is a board certified Pediatrician at Esperanza Health Center. He has worked at Esperanza Health Center since 2009. His favorite scripture is 2 Corinthians 4:16-18: “Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” His approach to medicine is to build relationships with children and families and look for ways to promote healthy growth and development: help to “bring out” the image of God in which they were created. Dr. Leander and his family reside in the North Philadelphia community served by Esperanza.
