As Samaritan’s Purse continues to respond, working alongside local churches to meet the needs of suffering people, our medical and surgical teams at our Emergency Field Hospital began treating patients Nov. 5. It’s been a race against time to help people living in communities cut off by the storm. Like most buildings in the community, the local hospital in Black River is now in pieces, leaving people in desperate need of medical care. In the first two days alone, our medical teams … [Read more...]

That’s why this year’s work on the new Mekoryuk Covenant Church—which will be completed by Samaritan’s Purse volunteers over four months—is such a milestone for the Native Alaskan community.

Many choose to give birth at home, which can in some cases be dangerous, particularly if they have not seen a medical specialist earlier. Limited maternal health care services and lack of medical education can make childbirth … [Read more...]
