The mission of Edgewood's Health Ministry is to promote an environment of physical, mental, and spiritual health and healing within Edgewood United Church, United Church of Christ.

Health Ministry/Member Ministry Team offers a number of resources for the Edgewood community including:

Care Assistance – provides short-term help with meals, visits, transportation, errands; information about community resources.

Care Partners – pairs trained care partners with caregivers to provide one-to-one support including personal visits, phone calls, notes, prayer.  Contact Sue Haviland , Nancy Martling, or one of our pastors for further information or call the church office.

Medical Equipment Loan Program is under consideration. Look for further developments.

Watch the Edgewood United Church newsletter for upcoming programs.

If you may benefit from these or other supports or would like information about them, please contact the church office to be connected to the appropriate team member.

Much work remains to be done to meet the needs of our church family. If you would like to share your gifts and talents with this important ministry, please contact the church office.
