The Healing Tree connects you to the vital resources you need to live a healthy, meaningful life while managing Sickle Cell. There is help for your journey.
In partnership with organizations throughout the region
The Healing Tree’s branches stretch across your community, connecting you with a wealth of faith-based care. The Healing Tree works to provide access to the life-sustaining resources recommended (but rarely ever provided) by your formal healthcare provider.
The Healing Tree recognizes that managing sickle cell disease goes beyond the physical symptoms; it encompasses a spiritual journey that touches the core of our being.
Our spiritual care program is designed to address the unique spiritual needs of our patients, acknowledging that faith plays a significant role in their lives and healing process. Utilizing the FICA* (Faith, Importance, Community, Address) tool for spiritual assessment, we delve into the heart of each patient's faith journey, understanding its importance in their life, their connection with a faith community, and how these elements can be integrated into their care plan.
This process is not a mere add-on; it is a foundational aspect of our holistic care approach, ensuring that our patients' spiritual needs are met with the same diligence as their medical needs. Through personalized spiritual support, we offer a sanctuary for hope, strength, and healing, acknowledging that spiritual well-being is intrinsically linked to physical health.
This comprehensive approach ensures that our patients feel seen, heard, and cared for, not just as patients but as whole individuals navigating the complexities of sickle cell with faith and resilience.
