Meritus Medical Center’s Spiritual Care Department hosts monthly educational sessions for faith leaders, health care providers and members of the wider community.
During this COVID-19 era, we will transition to a strictly virtual meeting, which will be held on the third Thursday of the month, from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. Topics, and speakers will vary, suggestions are welcome. There is no cost for the meeting; however, an RSVP is required in order to receive the ZOOM meeting code and password.
This month we will be having an honest and open conversation about the pros and cons of taking the COVID-19 vaccine and the role that faith communities and other community stakeholders can play in spreading hope and fostering health in Washington County and beyond.
Also, physicians and residents from Meritus Health, Inc. are willing to speak to community faith leaders during the Brunch & Learn and in or to their respective congregations during the month of February at times and days convenient to them. More details to come.
