City Rise Church, Houston, TX – Casa El Buen Samaritano – Open dates – Local Volunteers
Here is an edited blurb for your website.
West University Baptist Church (CityRise), Houston, TX supports a faith-based clinic called Casa El Buen Samaritano (Good Samaritan House). Casa’s mission is to share the love of Jesus Christ while providing whole-person – body, soul, spirit – healthcare to the low-income and uninsured population in our community. Casa patients receive a high standard of medical and dental care completely free of charge, including laboratory testing and some medications dispensed from our pharmacy. Patients have the opportunity to be prayed for and hear a personal gospel presentation. This integrated medical and spiritual ministry is transforming lives! We have the capacity to see many more patients, but we are constrained by insufficient numbers of volunteer physicians and dentists. We have a beautiful modern clinic with a great staff. and a strong team of spiritual counselors. We need more generalist physicians and specialist physicians, and we urgently need more dentists and hygienists to volunteer. To learn more about Casa and volunteer opportunities, please click here.
