The gospel of Luke, written by a physician, guides us in the supernatural way of healing that was common in the early church. Western medicine has moved, in the last 100 years, away from a "priestly" model of function for healthcare professionals into a more scientific and business role. Mission medicine, such as was described by Dr. Daniel Fountain, incorporates the gospel of the kingdom in effective ways. We will explore models of integration of Body, Soul and Spirit care into our current practice of medicine. The specific experience of our Urgent and Primary Care clinic in Kona Hawaii, done in conjunction with YWAM Kona, will illustrate several approaches and possibilities.

The most common model for primary healthcare in underserved settings is the FQHC framework. While FQHCs have afforded vast numbers of US communities with care they would not otherwise have had access to, this panel will discuss other financially viable models for Christian healthcare for the poor. Two clinics and a faith-based consulting team will discuss their experience with outside-of-the-box models of care, supported by private practice, concierge patients, and/or a nonprofit foundation."
