St. Benedict Health and Healing Ministry

What St. Benedict Health and Healing Ministry does

St. Benedict Health and Healing Ministry is a 501(c)(3) diocesan health ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado, founded in 2003 and operating principally in Boulder County, Colorado. Its functional mission is to provide free primary and preventive medical care to uninsured and underinsured residents who lack access to the conventional healthcare system. The organization runs volunteer-staffed clinics offering blood pressure monitoring, health education, referral services, over-the-counter medications, prescription assistance, and adjunct wellness programming such as chair yoga and stretching. It has progressively extended both its site footprint (Longmont via the OUR Center and Josephine Commons via Boulder County Housing Authority) and its program surface (the Don Burt Community Care Program, Medical Financial Assistance Program, Gentle Yoga/Chair Stretching Program).

The ministry's operational model is built on donated clinician time and lay volunteer labor, with a paid staff of 1-10 employees. Site delivery is anchored by seven or more church partners and community centers, which gives the organization a distributed physical presence across the populations it serves. The organization explicitly partners with external entities such as Cultivate (RSVP volunteer program) and the OUR Center to coordinate food security, housing access, and clinical care in a hub-and-spoke ecosystem.

The business model is that of a small community non-profit rather than a revenue-generating enterprise. The organization does not charge patients; instead it is funded through donations, grants, and fundraising events, with institutional backing from the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado. There is no fee-for-service revenue, no SaaS or platform monetization, and no commercial pricing model. Strategic priorities as evidenced in the public record include geographic deepening within Boulder County, layering of supportive non-clinical programs onto the core clinic offering, and pandemic-era adaptation via remote blood pressure monitoring and vaccine equity engagement.
