Center for Community Health Ministry

Welcome to Congregational Health

The Florida Hospital Center for Health Ministry promotes wholeness and healthy life-styles through congregational health ministries. Through educational training and support, congregations of all faiths and religious affiliations learn how to develop a successful health ministry.

The integrated Health Ministry Team concept was initiated by Florida Hospital to assist each congregation to discover its role in health ministry, build health into the life of the congregation, and sustain those efforts through a team approach. The training programs offered by Florida Hospital prepare Parish Nurses and Health Ministers to facilitate health topics and programs which address the individual member’s health concerns, as well as the health interests of the congregation.

Classes are taught from a Judeo-Christian foundation and include all faiths, which care for themselves and others as a response to God’s love.

The ultimate goal of health ministry is to equip each member to incorporate whole-person health principles and experience the abundant life promised by God - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
