Health Ministries AssociationHealth ministries include the many ministries of a faith community that promote whole-person health. Health is viewed as a gift from God and a way of relational living in community. These caring ministries are an essential part of congregational life. They incorporate the values, beliefs, and practices of a faith community as components in motivating persons toward health and wholeness. Health promotion and religious beliefs are integrated into the normal cycles of life – birth, wellness, development, maturation, illness, and death – to celebrate life; to enhance coping, wholeness, and a sense of peace; and improve community well-being. Intentional contextual practices of caring honor a faith community’s sense of mutual dependence and foster persons’ ability to both give and receive care.
The mission of the Health Ministries Association (HMA) is to encourage, support and empower leaders in the integration of faith and health in local communities. HMA includes faith community nurses, health ministers, program leaders, and spiritual leaders who have developed health ministries in diverse faith communities.
The HMA aspires to engage, educate and empower people of faith to be passionate and effective leaders for creating healthier communities.
Health Ministries Association, (HMA), is the recognized professional membership association for the nursing specialty of faith community nursing and promotes education, research utilization, and evidence-based practice. They are the co-authors with the American Nurses Association of the ANA-HMA publication, Faith Community Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice.
