Randolph FaithHealth has been busy of late. They just published their first newsletter and have recently trained 30 volunteers from 13 churches. Says Randolph Director of Spiritual Care Barry Morris:

Our hope with FaithHealthNC is to be a resource to churches that desire education about health and social issues faced by congregants. In turn, congregations help our health community by keeping and extra set of eyes on their members when they return home after a hospital stay. This act of kindness promotes well-being and keeps members healthy and independent. In addition, it affords congregations the opportunity to reach out to those in the shadow of their sanctuary who might be “the least of these my brethren.”

Helen Milleson is now full-time FaithHealth NC Navigator for Randolph Hospital and in April will complete a two-year fellows program through Wake Forest Baptist Health. Also on the team are Rosa Patterson, a Connector since last fall and Zoe Faircloth who will focus on marketing and on education programs for churches.
