Now this is true wholistic care…Thank you Sister Anne Brooks. As a counselor, I too believe people need to be seen a whole physical, psychological and spiritual beings of infinite value. You inspire me.
Thanks for the inspiring report of your ministry. I am a member of Kansas Health Care for All, a group that is working industriously for a single payer system.
I am curious to what community you belong. I am a former Sinsinawa Dominican and would like to know of your community connection. I would like to support your work with a small monthly donation if that is possible.
Sincerely, Jean Drumm
