QueensCare Health & Faith Partnership (QHFP)
QueensCare Health & Faith Partnership (QHFP) began as a vision by Father Steve Ryan and Reverend John Wagner to create faith and health partnerships in the community. Since its founding in 1993, over 60 urban, multi-ethnic congregations, schools, and social service agencies have joined the nationally recognized Partnership. It provides holistic health care to the under-served and uninsured through the hard work and generosity of individuals and organizations such as QueensCare, the Wheatridge Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the California Endowment. The core of the QHFP is the Health Cabinet, established in each partnering organization. They join with QHFP, QueensCare Family Clinics, local hospitals, and other health care organizations to address the health care needs of their membership and outreach to their neighborhoods. QHFP is a collaboration of churches, non-public schools, community service agencies and volunteers. QHFP professionals and volunteers provide health services that otherwise would not be available to low-income individuals within local faith communities.
