It's easy to feel despair at the daily bombardment of economic bad news.  Of course, we all feel compassion for those who are struggling, those who have lost their jobs and, with those jobs, their health insurance coverage.  But, when the bad news just doesn't stop coming, it's too easy to convince ourselves that there's no way we can possibly make a difference.

The truth is you CAN make a difference.  Make a contribution to North Coast Health Ministry’s 2009 Annual Campaign and help us continue to help our neighbors in need who depend on NCHM as their only route to health care.

Online Donations

We need everyone’s help as we continue our efforts as a vital “safety net” provider in our community. NCHM is grateful for all the help we have received from our partner hospitals, faithful volunteers, committed corporate, foundation and government funders and our individual donors.

Your gifts have made a difference in the lives of our patients. At this time of year when we count our blessings and purchase gifts for our friends and family, please consider a gift to North Coast Health Ministry. Your gift will provide a “hand up” to a neighbor in the community where you live. North Coast Health Ministry is now accepting online donations.
