ABOUT US  [ top of page ]

The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ (PHJC) decided to use the proceeds from the sale to create a new community health ministry in the Fort Wayne community as well as other communities where they currently have a presence.

The founding management team of HealthVisions Midwest utilized the extensive body of knowledge developed by Ancilla Systems Inc to launch this new ministry. Ancilla Systems is another sponsored ministry of the PHJC's focused on delivering healthcare to underserved areas in Indiana and Illinois. HealthVisions Midwest continues to benefit from an on-going relationship with Ancilla Systems and it's affiliates.
