Accountability and Affordability: Faith Communities Respond - NEW BLOG

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

Colleagues, As we move through this week following the Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act we are aware that this is an initial and essential step in the provision of access to "affordable care" for the all residents of our communities. In the coming year the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) will continue its working affiliations with other professional organizations and various faith community partners to move this vision ahead. In the end this will provide you with potential relationships and resources that will enhance your capacity to ensure the availability of emotional, spiritual and physical well being foryour clients and constituents.

This link will take you to a press statement from "Faithful Reform in Healthcare". AAPC along with other signees have been working on this initiative since 2008. Many thanks are due Rev. Linda Walling and Rev. Cynthia Abrams for their leadership.
