Siloam Health
Being the Hands and Feet of Jesus
At St. Bartholomew, our Mission & Outreach (M&O) ministry believes in being the hands and feet of Jesus, showing His love through action. That's exactly what we're doing through our partnership with Siloam Health—a faith-based healthcare organization right here in Nashville that serves our city's most vulnerable neighbors.
Healthcare Transformed by Love
Every day, Siloam Health provides whole-person medical care to Nashville's uninsured and underserved populations. Their patients come from more than 80 countries and speak over 50 languages, with 90% born outside the United States. But this isn't just about treating symptoms. It's about seeing every person as an image-bearer of God deserving of dignity, respect, and compassionate care.
That's the heart of what we're partnering with: the love of Christ made tangible through healing.
Why This Matters to Us
One in eight Nashville residents was born outside the United States. These are our neighbors: serving our food, building our homes, caring for our children. Many work essential jobs without health insurance, and without Siloam, they have nowhere to turn for medical care.
Siloam's Impact:
Serves over 6,500 people annually
Over 500 volunteers contribute 13,000 hours of service each year
Provides comprehensive care regardless of ability to pay
Welcomed 2,391 new patients this past year
This is Jeremiah 30:17 in action: "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord."
