Proclaiming Christ and making disciples on Philadelphia’s healthcare campuses

We exist to serve those in the healthcare field in Philadelphia in the name of Jesus. To that end, we strive to provide fellowship, education and mentoring for those training and practicing in medicine, nursing, dentistry, therapy, and many more! We believe that God cares about our professions and passions and we seek to serve those in healthcare fields and serve alongside in transforming Philadelphia for the glory of God.

Upcoming Events

While we are all practicing social distancing we do want to remain connected. We have started a weekly group prayer call on Google Hangouts Meet. We also know of several student groups continuing to meet regularly via mobile chat apps. If you would like any information about these or other opportunities to stay connected, please email us.

It is an understatement to say that 2020 was a challenge– while patients battled physical and emotional illness our frontline workers often suffered in silence. What emotional trauma does working in healthcare bring, what are its signs and symptoms, and what might be done about it? Join Medical Campus Outreach and a panel of clinicians–Joyce David MD, Adam O’Neill PA, and Kristin Welch CRNP–for an enlightening and possibly therapeutic panel discussion.
