Undue Medical Debt
A Ministry of Hope
In the last three years, John Knox Presbytery has raised over $83,000.00 and sent it to our mission partner, Undue Medical Debt. God continues to multiply our gifts! Our efforts led to the erasure of over $11 million of medical debt for almost 9,500 families.

ABOUT UNDUE MEDICAL DEBT

Their work brings real, lasting relief to people who would otherwise remain trapped by medical bills they cannot afford.
John Knox Presbytery is proud to partner with Undue Medical Debt through the T.H.E.E. Alliance, joining a larger movement to promote compassion, justice, and systemic change in healthcare.
