What Are We Doing Now?
Latest News
Servants Health Centre was opened on Monday 18th January!
Our hours are 9am to 4.30pm
2009 has seen great progress for our mission as many, many people seek to follow
our God and serve others.
We have a high standard office at 100 Princes Street, Dunedin, from which we can
provide our care.
Internal changes have been made including plumbing. Costs have been substantial,
but we have had generous private donations, as well as the following grants:
-
Otago Community Trust have granted $25,000 towards our setting up costs.
-
Alexander McMillan Trust have granted $10,000 towards setting up costs.
We have made contacts with churches and with social support organisations like
Presbyterian Support, so that we can integrate holistic care.
We have doctors, nurses and receptionists willing to cover much of the time we
wish to be open.
Now we can make ourselves known, to those we wish to serve, and patiently offer
our time.
