HealthShare Program
Message from Pernessa
HealthShare is The Balm In Gilead's on-line health community for congregations, families and individuals. It is our place to share our faith journey's walk toward a healthy life. We will host on-line discussions and weekly blogs for you to share the experiences of your journey toward health.
Please welcome Dr. Hilda R. Davis-Carroll, our Congregational Health Advisor. Hilda is a long time friend and health advisor to The Balm In Gilead. Hilda will support your faith journey with weekly blogs and inspirational articles here at HealthShare! You can also become a part of Hilda's mental health private practice on line at www.joypathunlimited.com where she provides education and inspirations for life events.
HealthShare will provide congregations with resources that will support your health education and screening initiatives. Our congregational section will provide resources that will include developing health ministries, congregational health assessments, sample weekly health tips for your worship bulletin and scheduled on-line trainings and special presentations by leading health experts and theologians.
As many of you know, I have struggled with obesity all of my life. It is a daily struggle of losing and gaining weight. This life-long struggle has propelled me to do more to educate parents about their children's health and to empower congregations to begin to support children health initiatives. I will talk more about my struggle with obesity here at HealthShare.
Perhaps you, too, have been struggling with a health issue and would like to share your experiences - the good, bad and in between! I hope you will!! You story might help me!
I hope you are excited about HealthShare! Together, let's learn and share!
As Always, I AM yours in Abiding Faith!
