Our Mission
Christ Medicus Foundation is helping return Christ’s healing love to health care by defending life and conscience rights and building the culture of life. We defend the right to life and religious freedom of patients and medical professionals. We advance pro-life care for pregnant mothers and children.
Our CURO health and wellness services pay for medical needs and offer Christ-centered whole person care that help families flourish. Our HOPE Program for employers offers Catholic health and wellness for employees.
Our Message
We believe that each person is made in the image and likeness of God with inherent human dignity and infinite worth. Health care in America should reflect this, making Jesus Christ, the Divine Physician, and his love present, upholding every person’s dignity from conception to natural death, and protecting the conscience and religious freedom of every patient and medical professional.
We are countering the darkness of the culture of death with the light of the culture of life. We are inspired by St. John Paul II’s historic encyclical, Evangelium Vitae, that proclaims the Gospel of Life!
Our Method
Founded in 1997, the Christ Medicus Foundation is building the culture of life in health care and advancing God-given human dignity in our nation’s health care system. We accomplish this mission through (1) defending life, human dignity, religious freedom, and medical conscience rights in law and public policy, (2) offering Catholic pro-life health and wellness services for the healing and flourishing of individuals, families, and clergy, and (3) supporting Christ-centered, life-affirming medical care for pregnant mothers, unborn children, families, the poor, and the most vulnerable.
