Community Initiatives That Foster Wholeness

At AdventHealth, we’re committed to helping those in need experience wholeness, restoration and good physical, emotional and spiritual health. Together with our team members and community partners, we deliver compassionate care to the people we serve, regardless of their background, race, ethnicity or religion.

Learn more about how this commitment comes to life through our spotlight initiatives, including the Mars Hill Community Resource Spot and the Chicago Mission Clinic.

In the Spotlight: Mars Hill Community Resource Spot

A Community Resource Spot (CRS) is a service in an underserved community identified by our Community Health Needs Assessment. Each CRS is sponsored by at least one church, has an AdventHealth chaplain presence and engages community resources in the service areas of AdventHealth hospitals.

Services provided by the Mars Hill Community Resource Spot include:

  • Food security (food pantry or bank)
  • Job opportunities through community resources
  • Care coordination (health screenings through the Health Department)
  • Education
  • Mental health care
  • First aid medical assistance
  • Mobile health clinic

Currently, there are seven CRS sites strategically located throughout Central Florida that operate one to two times per month, with about 150 people attending each event.
