Congregations Provide Great Feedback for PHW Certification Improvements

Monica Motley, Former Director, Partners in Health and Wholeness · December 16, 2015 · Leave a Comment

A big thank you to the 33 congregational participants in the PHW Certification Survey. Valuable feedback and suggestions were offered to better ensure that we are able to provide congregations with a certification program that provides the support and resources needed.  Overall, we learned that congregations really enjoy our certification program. We also learned that congregations would like to see some improvements such as: a more user-friendly application system that allows applicants to save and return to their application; greater clarification between the certification and mini-grant application; and prompts and examples to walk folks through the application process.
 Our raffle winners are:
  • P. J. Ricks from Crown in Glory Lutheran Church
  • Patricia Jetevu Patty from St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church
  • Marie Willis from St. Mary AME Zion Church
  • Ruth Dial Woods from Sacred Pathways
  • Maryam Funmilayo from the Islamic Association of Raleigh
We would also like to acknowledge our congregations that participated in the survey and are leaders in helping the PHW team offer a better certification program:
  • Cary Presbyterian Church
  • Corinth AME Zion Church
  • Savannah Missionary Baptist Church
  • New Life Fellowship Church
  • Divine Anointing Church International
  • Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church
  • Kimberly Park Holiness Church
  • Woodleaf United Methodist Church
  • The Soul Harvest Apostolic Church
  • Life Redeeming Center
  • Cameron Grove AME Zion Church
  • Christ Gospel Church of Hope Mills/Word of Truth Ministry
  • Soldiers Memorial AME Zion Church
  • Trinity Presbyterian Church
  • Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church
  • Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church
  • First United Methodist Church

About Monica Motley, Former Director, Partners in Health and Wholeness

As a native of Danville, Monica has developed a personal understanding of the many barriers people face to lead and sustain healthy lives. A recent MPH graduate and former research assistant with the Virginia Tech Department of Population Health Sciences, Monica is currently completing a doctorate in Biomedical and Veterinary Science. Specifically, her dissertation research aims to identify, understand, and enhance the capacity and readiness of faith- based organizations implementing lifestyle-related health and wellness programs via collaborative partnerships. Her academic and professional background has taught her how to leverage public health research, community engagement, and social justice approaches as complimentary methods that can result in more effective, creative, and translational solutions for complex health issues. As a result, Monica has held various leadership roles with organizations such as the Danville Regional Foundation, Dan River Partnership for a Healthy Community, The Point Foundation, National Black Justice Coalition, God’s Storehouse, Virginia Tech Diversity Scholars and now NCCC Partners in Health in Wholeness.

Call your Member of Congress and tell them paid leave is crucial to public health and economic recovery. Text paidleave (one word) to 844-955-2880 or visit bit.ly/39PWQde to begin. #AmericanRescuePlan #PaidLeave #BlackHealth
