Replication Workshops
Start a Charitable Clinic in Your CommunityHave you ever thought about starting a faith-based healthcare ministry?
Do you feel called to begin your own ministry but don’t know where to start?
Are you involved in an active ministry and looking for ways to share ideas & concerns with others doing similar work?
Hear firsthand how Church Health grew from a small clinic serving the working uninsured to a national leader in the faith/health movement.
About the Workshops
Part of Church Health’s mission is to assist others in creating and expanding ministries of their own. Our Replication Workshops help people across the nation move from visions to actions. Replication workshops are held three times a year at Church Health and consist of two, half-day sessions. The workshop includes a complete tour of our facilities, a meeting with Church Health founder and CEO Dr. Scott Morris, training by ECHO’s senior clinic consultants, and a Q&A session with Director Ann Langston. Participants also have roundtable discussions with Church Health and ECHO staff about:
Determining the need for a clinic in your community
Expanding your existing clinic to meet the growing need in your community
The logistics of running a faith-based clinic
Developing a business plan
Best practices in fundraising and public relations
Recruiting volunteers and effectively using their talents
Ways to engage the faith community
The most important lessons learned from Church Health and ECHO
Each workshop brings new people together with fresh ideas, questions and enthusiasm.
