Hurricane Michael Relief Efforts Continue

Chaplain Jacob George (Hillcrest Medical Center, Tulsa, OK) is in Panama City, Florida volunteering his time to those impacted by Hurricane Michael. He has been assigned to Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart in Panama City.

The hospital sustained structural, roof and water damage, as well as cooling and plumbing issues, loss of information system, etc. All of the in-patients have been evacuated. The ER is being kept open with staff from sister hospitals across the country. The hospital has about 1,700 employees, most of whom have been been impacted.

Jacob has been assigned to provide spiritual care and support to employees and their families, serve as ER chaplain and to work alongside other relief agencies. The people have expressed gratitude for safety and provision as well as painful accounts of loss and tragedy.

If you feel led to provide hurricane relief support you may so do through Week of Compassion.

Hurricane Michael: Update from Week of Compassion

An update from Week of Compassion:

Hurricane Michael made landfall around 12:30CDT 10/10/2018 as an extremely strong Category 4 storm near Mexico Beach, Florida. The storm, which has produced sustained winds of 155 mph, is the strongest on record to hit the Florida Panhandle. Week of Compassion is in touch with our congregational, Regional, and ecumenical partners.

We will continue monitoring this storm’s impact and stand ready to assist with solidarity grants for Disciples churches and families as may be needed, along with other relief through our partners in affected areas. To support this response, you can designate gifts to Week of Compassion, “Hurricane Relief” DONATE HERE

Please keep all those in the path of this storm in your prayers, along with those first-responders who are offering care and protection to others through the storm.
