From the ELCA’s Social Statement on Healthcare (2003): “Health is central to our well-being, vital to relationships, and helps us live out our vocations in family, work, and community. Caring for one’s own health is a matter of human necessity and good stewardship. Caring for the health of others expresses both love for our neighbor and responsibility for a just society. As a personal and social responsibility, health care is a shared endeavor.”
Making sure all are able to receive adequate health insurance coverage is a key priority for LAMPa. We partner with a number of organizations and agencies to make sure our neighbors in Pennsylvania are able to afford and access health care options.

- Submit this simple form with taxes
- Wait to hear from Pennie via mail or email
