"Changing lives, by being a light for Christ our Lord."
Our Vision
“To be fully devoted to Jesus Christ, by opening our arms and providing Christian services
to the underserved children, adults and families of WNC.”
The southern Appalachia region is among the poorest, most isolated and remote areas in the country. Western North Carolina has a minority population of Native Americans, African Americans and Hispanics, as well as groups with lower income-to poverty level ratios. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are identified as root causes of medical problems--poverty being the greatest contributor. WNC Lighthouse Inc. incorporates a multi-faceted approach to help families address social determinants of health, including food and housing insecurities, lack of transportation, interpersonal violence and others, and connect them with other community resources.
We are striving to improve the health of our community.
We address the patient and family holistically, including social determinants of health, to achieve better outcomes. Our being proactive in outreach can improve outcomes and the overall health of the population.
