Partners in Ministry

In an effort to assist low income, uninsured individuals, St. John West Shore is encouraging its employees, medical staff and volunteers to donate some of their own time to help provide medical care at either North Coast Health Ministry or the Lorain County Free Clinic.

In turn, the SJWS will make a monetary contribution, in the volunteer's name, of $20 for every hour worked. Through this collaborative initiative, we will improve the health of our community by continuing the healing ministry of Jesus to those less fortunate.
