What Our Clients Say

“As someone who works for Catholic Community Services in western Washington, I feel fortunate to have developed a partnership with Health Ministries Network. Our first collaboration was with Ask A Nurse at our Farmworker housing site called Villa Santa Fe in Bellingham. This effort was valuable to the many people who have no insurance.  Additionally, I am working with Ali to bring the same program to a Catholic parish in Snohomish County for their resource site called Mercy House to improve health care access.  We love working with Ali and her team because they truly care about our clients and the Ask A Nurse effort is an excellent program that brings needed nurse advice to people who need it.”
