Greetings from the President

Thank you for visiting our web site at the Health Ministries Association, Inc.
You have taken a first step towards gathering information about the professional
membership organization for faith community nurses and their colleagues - clergy,
faculty, health educators, lay health ministers and program coordinators. 
Because of our recognized roles in health care, we come together to work collaboratively
to develop guidelines, resources, partnerships and advocate for those we serve.
As a non-profit, volunteer, membership organization; HMA aspires to engage, educate
and empower people of faith to be passionate and effective leaders for creating healthier
communities. We believe in the words of Dr. Granger Westberg that “we are a part of a
movement in history much greater than ourselves, a movement of the Spirit, renewing and
 revitalizing human life.”

We invite you to take a look at HMA, make yourself at home and please feel free to contact
me with any questions or comments.  If this organization sounds like something you might
be interested in, come and join us on our journey of reaching out to transform the approach
to wholeness and health. We need you and your support, as we work to bond faith communities
with health systems to advocate for justice in health care, protection of the environment and
respect for all forms of creation. We encourage you to unite with HMA, lending your creativity
and gifts to bring reality to this vision: that faith communities will reclaim their roles as healing
centers within society.
