DMV Faith in Action is a collaboration between Places of Worship Advisory Board (POWAB) and the health departments of DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
As a member of the faith community, you may be approached for advice, and when it comes to health issues, we want you to see Faith In Action as a valuable resource. This was created for YOU. We hope that this will help you to:
- find helpful health information to share with your community,
- locate local support on a variety of health matters, and
- learn more about health topics you’ve never thought about in the past.
We encourage you to reach out, get involved with Faith In Action, and click on areas that may interest you.
