OUR VISION
Improving the health, and health outcomes of Texans
Commitment, Spirit of Volunteerism, Innovation. These three values have stood at the center of the Health Ministries Network of Texas mission since our founding in 2009. We wholeheartedly commit to the work we do with passion and dedication. Most of our volunteers come from Faith Community Nurses who partner with Faith Organizations and Churches to meet the health needs of the community through intentional care of the spirit. We challenge ourselves to think creatively, applying an innovative approach to all that we do. This drives the continued success of Health Ministries Network of Texas.
