The Travel Grant Fund for
Christian Science Nurses
Christian Science Nurses
Wellsprings maintains a Benevolence Fund that specializes in specific financial support to the activities of Christian Science nursing. Florida has a very broad geography with Christian Scientists living in areas not served by nearby Christian Science nurses. We provide travel cost assistance to Christian Science nurses so that the cost to patients is essentially the fee for providing the care, thereby eliminating the burden of paying for long travel commutes.
Christian Science Nursing Training
Wellsprings provides funding for Christian Science nursing training and education for non Journal-listed Christian Science nurses and Christian Scientists in Florida wanting to become a Christian Science nurse or assist Christian Science nurses with their cases.
