HMA Director for Program Leadership

Program leaders are persons who lead, support, direct, or coordinate health ministry programs and/or faith community nurse programs in health systems, communities of faith or community settings. The focus of these programs is health promotion and disease prevention. Program leaders provide oversite, direction, resources, mentorship and support to those involved in these programs. The HMA Program Leadership constituent group plays a key role in local and regional health ministry programs. Program leaders are keenly aware of faith and health issues facing their community and develop programs to address those identified issues.
