In keeping with the CHRISTUS Health mission “To extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ,” and to demonstrate the CHRISTUS Core Values, CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System provides an opportunity for assistance to our Associates who are in financial need.
The program is funded by CHRISTUS Foundation Shreveport-Bossier, through donations from associates who wish to contribute to the fund to help their fellow CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier associates in their time of need.
The goal is to assist Associates in critical need of financial assistance when all other possible resources have been exhausted. Requests accepted for financial need as a result of Disaster, Illness, and other extenuating circumstances.
Assistance range is $250-$500.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
All information is kept confidential.
