Kinney Program

Title: GETWELL Film Screening
Location: FJ-A
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2009-11-17

Come see this documentary about the Church Health Center! 

“Getwell” is the story of the Church Health Center, the nation’s largest faith-based health clinic and its inspirational leader G. Scott Morris, M.D., M.Div. as they face the increasingly difficult task of providing health care for the working poor in Memphis, Tn. With a broad-based focus on primary care, prevention, body and spirit and political activism, the Church Health Center has become the model for the rest of the nation affecting real change for the increasing numbers of uninsured Americans across the country – and miraculously doing it one person at a time.”
