FaithHealth Catawba

A Shared Mission of Healing

What is FaithHealth?

FaithHealth is a dynamic partnership between the faith community, health system and other community partners focused on improving health. The partnerships combine the caring strength of congregations, the expertise of healthcare providers and a network of community resources. All partners are linked in a shared mission of healing.

FaithHealth volunteers offer ministry and advocacy to anyone in the community who is in need. They provide support before, during and/or after hospitalization and make home visits. They also provide emotional and spiritual support and help with other needs as appropriate.

What is FaithHealth in the community?

• Someone discovering that a patient keeps returning to the hospital because he/she cannot read
• Congregations working together to provide community members with transportation to the doctor or the grocery store
• Someone who advocates on behalf of a homeless person with a chronic condition to find housing

Interested in becoming a FaithHealth volunteer?

Volunteers can be any person who has a passion for helping neighbors in need. They are dedicated to providing service to others by way of listening, aiding and assisting with what most of us take for granted – access to optimal health care. Volunteering is for those who may have at least one hour of spare time once a week or once a month.
