“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”. Galatians 6:2

Our purpose is to promote wholistic health among NEPC members and their families by caring for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each individual.  A team of volunteers, both health professionals and laity, visit the sick, homebound, and those in nursing homes to offer encouragement and support, assist in accessing needed resources, and find hope and healing through the love and care of the body of Christ.  Health promotion and advocacy is also a major focus of the ministry to assist members to maintain health and thereby participate fully in service to the Lord.

Care Team Network - This ministry provides individuals or families with a team of volunteers who are dedicated to providing care in an organized way during a crisis situation or long term illness.

Emergency Response Team - Trained rescuers (CPR and Automated External Defibrillator trained) are on-call during all worship services on Sundays to respond to any emergency.  Team members carry beepers and are on-call for a specific worship service.  Health professionals are designated to assist in this ministry.

Health Education/Health Screening - Health care providers volunteer to provide blood pressure screening during Wednesday evening activities; flu shots are administered annually; a Health Fair is held every other year; health consultations are available by appointment.

Home and Nursing Home Visitation Teams - This ministry pairs volunteers who have a heart for seniors and the homebound along with the gifts of encouragement and visitation to minister by visiting these individuals on a regular basis, offering encouragement, and conveying any special needs to staff.
