To Love and To All Friends

Now more than ever, we need each other.  This morning, we’ll explore the practice of presence as a resource for building and sustaining community, and we’ll welcome our new members in a joining ceremony.  Everyone is encouraged to greet and congratulate our new members while enjoying some extra treats during coffee hour!

Access Community Health Centers is a non-profit organization with the mission of improving the health and lives of people who otherwise face financial, cultural, or language obstacles that prevent access to high-quality, affordable health care.

By making sure each patient receives personalized care in a consistent and caring manner, patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health care and take control of their future health and well-being.They were nominated by Leila Pine.
