“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7
In the wake of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, we would like to share valuable information with you to help you, your family, and your community stay safe, healthy, and remain at peace.
We at Divine Mercy Health Center believe in achieving our best health by simultaneously addressing our physical, mental, and spiritual needs. As we seek to maintain our own health, we believe in helping each other. Let us work together to prevent the spread of the virus by practicing smart prevention, support those that are suffering, and find an increased resolve as a community. This virus does not care about our socioeconomic, ethnic, or cultural differences. May we use this indiscriminate pandemic to build an indiscriminate wave of support for each other.
We hope you can use these resources below to stay healthy and safe during this pandemic while doing all you can to help those around you.
Let us remember God’s presence prior to, during, and forever more after this pandemic. “Do not fear, I am with you, do not be anxious, I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10
