MISSION: Promoting community health through faith-based leadership

 
The Center for Faith and Health Initiatives helps faith-based leaders promote whole person health and community health through training, development, and collaborative activities. Whole health is physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental.
The Center is interfaith and multicultural. Vulnerable groups are of special interest: clusters of people at risk for health disparities due to extreme age, poverty, isolation, neighborhood, and cultural barriers.    Services Include:• Training and development in faith community health-- classes, workshops, consultation, group work, spiritual direction, publications, presentations, and coaching.
• Collaborative activities-- coalition coordination, regional planning participation, volunteer services, and partnership support.
