Caring for Faith Communities

The goals of this project are to create a partnership between faith leaders and IU Health to enhance the care and health of faith leaders, faith community members, and local communities. This begins with partnering with a faith leader. Then having the faith leaders lead conversations with the IU health community. Finally, creating a medium to share the information which the leaders gave. The information was shared through a website that is open to anyone in the IU Health community. This website has information on various faith groups which met with IU Health. The goal of the website is to increase awareness. The goal of the conversations is to increase the community between physicians and faith groups.
