Do you have healthcare experience or an important story to tell? Would you like to help organize the healthcare team in your congregation? Your congregation can be involved in the UU Voices for Healthcare Project. UU Voices for Health Care Sign-up Sheet.
Healthcare Stories Needed: Submitting stories about the everyday impacts of our healthcare system is the single-most effective way to build the healthcare movement. Host a story-gathering session in your congregation using our easy outline or distribute our story forms during coffee hour and mail us copies of your congregation’s responses. And keep an eye on this website – we’ll soon be collecting stories through the web!
NEW Curriculum: An adaptable six-session healthcare curriculum is available to educate and empower UU’s to take action within and beyond their congregations. Topics include healthcare history in the United States, healthcare around the world, healthy equity, understanding single-payer, and more. Order your copy by e-mail .
What follows in the quality of our helping when we begin to know ourselves beyond separateness? .We are not so much helping out, then, because it is "me" needing to tend to "you". We're helping out because it is "us". The more we understand and dwell in that truth, the more we serve simply in the way of things. If any of "Us" needs help. If one of "Our" arms gets caught in a door, naturally we use the other of "Our" arms to set it free. Helping happens not because it's been weighed and considered; it happens because the barriers to its lawful and automatic expression have fallen away.
