_The Center for Healing & Hope begins 2012 with a new director: Clare Krabill of Goshen, IN. Clare came to CHH from The Help Center in Warsaw, IN, where she assisted families with health related financial crises and developed a health and wellness social services databank. This resource empowered thousands of families to move toward wellness.

Clare began her work life in physical therapy. She worked for nine years in this field, including five years in supervisory positions at therapy clinics in New York City, Long Island and Chicago.

Throughout her work in public health and as a physical therapist, Clare has hoped to show others God's love and healing, an inspiration she carries with her to CHH. "It is an honor," Clare comments, "to be invited to provide leadership to this program which is vital to the health and wellness of our uninsured community members. Through the Center, we have the opportunity to be Christ's hands and feet, offering healing and hope to the sick. It is a thrill to apply myself to this mission alongside such an enthusiastic and capable staff, dedicated and caring board and gifted, generous volunteers."

January Prayer Request: The building the Goshen Clinic moved into seven years ago will soon no longer be available. We anticipate moving sometime in February 2012. Please remember our board members and staff as we discern the Spirit’s leading in relocating the clinic to Plymouth United Church of Christ and securing the funds to renovate the new location.
