Pathway to Health  - Beckley, WV




Alert!

Given the natural disaster in Beckley recently, we are in great need of mental health counselors at our Pathway Beckley event.  Please reach out to those professionals that can come help out in reaching the community of Beckley in that capacity.  If you are in that field, please consider joining us July 13-15 in Beckley, WV.   You may register at www.pathwaytohealthvolunteer.org .

Please  join us in praying for the citizens of Beckley and the surrounding areas.



We need more people like YOU! Reaching our goal of 300 volunteers is the key to making #PathwaytoHealth Beckley, WV a success. We know you are anxious to be a part of this mission, and so we ask that you consider sharing your excitement on social media to help spread the word about this service opportunity to medical professionals, your church community, and friends. Please start sharing today! Below are some suggestions, pre-made posts, images, links, and email copy for your convenience. 

#PathwaytoHealth is an opportunity for meaningful service within our communities. We hope that each #PathwaytoHealth event generates increased awareness, while opening necessary doors for future events. We also hope that our social media conversation engages residents and organizations in the cities in which we serve in ways that include as many people as possible. However, at the same time we wanted to create a space online for volunteers to share their testimonies and encourage each other spiritually. 

Please join our Facebook volunteer group to engage with other volunteers as well as receive important information and notices related to events.

Suggested subject line:  Join me for #PathwaytoHealth this July

Dear friends, 

As some of you may know, I will be helping out with Your Best Pathway to Health this coming July 13-16 at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center in Beckley, WV! #PathywaytoHealth is a ministry that provides free medical, dental, and eye care to underserved people, along with lifestyle counseling and many other services—showing them the love of Jesus. I am blessed and excited to be a part of this unique opportunity to serve.   

For this event, the goal is to see/treat 1,500 underserved people in just three days. In order to reach this goal, #PathwaytoHealth needs 300 volunteers, and plenty of spaces are still available. All kinds of medical professionals are especially needed, including: 30 dentists; 10 dental hygienists; 8 optometrists; WV licensed nurses; 40 physicians including: cardiologists, infectious disease specialists, radiologists, surgeons, GYN surgeons, physical therapists as well as other sub-specialists in medicine; as well as patient assistance and transport.  Even if you don’t have any medical skills or training whatsoever (like me!) <Please include if you are a non-medical volunteer>, you can be a part of this too. People willing to help out with food services, children's department leaders, hospitality, chaplaincy services are also needed. It takes a lot of volunteers to process the patients, lead them through the clinic, counsel with them, pray with them, etc. Everyone is needed. 

So far over 20,000 people have received free medical care through Pathway to Health since 2014, and over $70 million dollars given in free healthcare!

Visit the website www.pathwaytohealthvolunteer.org to learn more and watch the video of what happened at the Los Angeles Convention Center in April!

No registration fee, just your time and willingness to help is needed. Discounted hotel rooms are available.

Please consider joining me in Beckley to share this experience and serve God! 

Blessings,

Name
