WELCOME!
We are a group of women from all over the country and world, who call Rochester home for the duration of our medical journey, whether short or long term. We desire to grow in our walk with Jesus while supporting one another as medical or dental spouses. We are here to pray for, love and encourage each other through whatever circumstances might be, while uplifting our personal relationships with Jesus Christ.
Women in medical and dental marriages can struggle with resentment, exhaustion, depression, loneliness and isolation; often moving wherever their husband's career may take them. There is a common bond between the wives of medical and dental spouses, and something special about what we can offer one another. By walking together in our relationship with the Lord and applying Christian studies to our lives, we are able to cultivate strong relationships with each other and create a community of women who travel through the journey of medicine together. We invite you to join us and stand side by side. |

HISTORY
What began in 1998 with a few women around a kitchen table in Rochester, Minnesota has grown into an international ministry.

Affiliated with the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, we are a non-denominational, Bible-based ministry that is evangelical in nature. We seek to encourage, support, and minister to women in medical marriages through fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.
