Key Result Areas
Your Faith and Healthcare Connected
The Christian Medical & Dental Associations' strategic ministry framework is built on four Key Result Areas known by the acronym CASE: Community, Advocacy, Service, and Equipping. Here is where healthcare professionals find community to protect from depression and burnout, step forward to protect the rights of the underprivileged, find personal conscience protections under the law, learn to share their faith with their patients, and grow personally and spiritually together.
