Frequently Ask Questions about Health Hubs
What is a Health Hub?
Through Health Hubs inside A.M.E. Zion Churches, we connect people to the care they need for free.
Churches play a big role in many neighborhoods, but they are often left out of the healthcare system. By turning churches into trusted centers of health, we can make our communities stronger and healthier.
Each Health Hub team is trained to teach about health and at least one major disease or condition (like diabetes or high blood pressure).
Every church Health Hub includes the following for free:
- Two Trusted Health Messengers: Trained church members who help participants navigate health care.
- Nurse or Health Coach: Provides wellness guidance, health education, and preventive care support.
- Community Pharmacist: Offers medication education, safety reviews, and prescription guidance.
- Health Education Classes: Free classes on prevention, wellness, and managing common health conditions.
- 1:1 Care Coordination: Personalized help connecting individuals to care, services, and follow-up support.
How can a Health Hub help me?
Together, the trusted messengers and Health Hub team guide the congregation and community. They share important health information, connect people to care, and act as trusted resources.
At each church, we offer Health Hub services, such as:
- Health education – workshops and resources to learn about staying well
- Health screenings – for example, checking blood pressures
- Health monitoring – ongoing support to track key health needs
- Healthcare coordination – including help with appointments and referrals to doctors, clinics, and pharmacies
Health Hubs link community members with doctors, clinics, and pharmacies, and also provide health coaching as well as assistance with appointments, and telehealth sessions (video or phone visits).
People aged 18 and older and anyone who would like to have support on their healthcare journey is welcome to join a Health Hub.
Where is my Health Hub?
Each church has a different location for its Health Hub. Please contact your community church's Health Hub for more information.
When does my Health Hub launch?
All Health Hubs will open in March 2026. Dates and times will be posted on our website.
