The HPUMC Care Team is a wonderful lay care and visitation program that makes a significant difference in the lives of our parishioners who are sick, injured, or aging. Care Team members are matched with a care receiver in the hospital, rehabilitation facility, or retirement home, or with those who are homebound. The Care Team member's actions—whether making phone calls, sending cards, visiting, or contacting the care receiver's family member—make a significant impact. The program meets on the fourth Monday of the month from Noon to 1:30 pm.
