Mission
and Values
By
Tim Noel, Chief Mission Officer
On the eve of Election Day, and with our country once again divided down the middle, it might be good for us to step back and reflect on who we are. I plan to vote, and I am as passionate about politics as anyone I know, but there are things that are more important to me than my politics. My friendships transcend politics. My being a neighbor transcends politics. My love for country is not partisan. And neither is our work at EMH. There are no litmus tests for the care we give. The doors open to all, and all are welcome here.
