About Us
Faith Community Health Ministry was born in 2020 through a collaboration between Mercy Health and Clark County Combined Health District in Springfield and made possible through grant funds received from the Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation. The program began as a pilot with five churches closest in proximity to the “Engaged Neighborhood,” which was identified by a community housing study as an area of focus (Pleasant to Perrin, S. Limestone Street to Yellow Springs Street).
Churches
We are thrilled to have the support and participation of several wonderful churches in our community. They are joining hands with us to make our program a success and we are proud to be partnered with them.
St. John Missionary Baptist Church
Church of Jesus Family Worship Center
St. Teresa Catholic Church
St. Charles Catholic Church
