How does healthcare support a thriving community? Healthcare is a critical component to any successful community. Simply the fact that healthcare is critical to our individual health and life. It is also vital to expansion; quality healthcare is top criteria many large employers seek while scouting prospective new locations.

How can gratitude help heal you spiritually, physically and emotionally? Chris is described as loving, compassionate, merciful and gracious in the Scripture. Many examples of his miracles stem from people being grateful for the mere opportunity to touch his garment or even hear him speak.
