Raising a family today often means juggling busy school schedules, soccer practices and a never-ending grocery list, all while trying to keep your loved ones healthy and manage rising medical costs. For Christian families, finding affordable health care providers who also reflect their values can feel like an impossible task. But what if there was a way to care for your family’s medical needs that was both affordable and faith-aligned?
In this post, we’ll explore what to look for when choosing affordable health care options for your family, why a faith-based approach can make all the difference, and how WeShare helps Christian families access trusted, affordable health care providers through a community built on shared values.
A Community-Centered Approach to Family Wellness
Imagine a community where the health of your family is supported not just by doctors and nurses, but by a network of believers who care for one another physically, emotionally and spiritually. That’s the ethos of WeShare®, a Christian health-sharing community administered by Unite Health Share Ministries (UHSM).
WeShare isn’t insurance; it’s a nonprofit Christian health care sharing network where members share each other’s eligible medical needs through monthly contributions. By facilitating this process, WeShare provides access to a nationwide network of trusted, affordable health care providers, bringing clarity, compassion, and simplicity back into health care.
Designed With Families in Mind
WeShare’s programs were built for everyday families: parents balancing work and home life, children needing preventive care, and grandparents focused on staying active. Members have access to one of the nation’s largest provider networks, with over 1.2 million doctors and specialists through PHCS® PPO and more than 68,000 pharmacies through CVS Caremark™.
Affordable consultation fees make it easy to access high-quality care when you need it:
- $0 for virtual visits through Amwell
- $10 at CVS MinuteClinic® locations nationwide
- $25 for primary care visits
Preventive care, which includes annual wellness exams and routine labs, is shared at 100%, helping families stay healthy without the added financial pressure.
Caring for Body, Mind and Spirit
At WeShare, the meaning of family health goes far beyond doctor’s visits and prescriptions. Members receive access to wellness perks that support holistic living, from fitness and nutrition apps like Active&Fit and HelloFresh, to BetterHelp® counseling sessions and RightNow Media’s faith resources. These wellness tools empower families to grow stronger together – physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Since WeShare values good stewardship, members can even earn up to 20% off their monthly contribution amount by meeting healthy living goals through the Healthy Discount Program.
A Faith-Driven Family Network
Beyond affordability, what draws families to WeShare is the unmistakable sense of community. Whenever a member faces a medical need, the entire network comes together in prayer and practical support, reflecting the Biblical call to “carry each other’s burdens.”
In a world where healthcare often feels impersonal and costly, WeShare serves as a constant reminder that compassion and faith still have an important role to play in how we care for one another.
If your family is searching for affordable health care providers that align with your Christian values, explore how WeShare’s programs can bring wellness within reach and community back into the heart of healthcare.
