Global Anabaptist Health Network (GAHN)

The Global Anabaptist Health Network (GAHN) is reaching out to organizations that have been loosely affiliated with us through Mennonite World Conference or referral from other partner organizations.  Since GAHNs inception in 2015 at the MWC Assembly in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Coordinating Committee was formed and, today, continues to work on building the network.

GAHN is inviting you to share in our work so that we can be a truly global and supportive community of healthcare providers and organizations. 

Regarding GAHN:

Vision and Mission

GAHN's vision is to be an international network of health institutions and health professionals that strengthens the witness of the Anabaptist community of faith, providing mutual encouragement, sharing through peer learning, and fostering institutional and professional partnerships.  The mission is to connect, communicate, and collaborate on ministries of common interest in the name of Christ.

Values

GAHN's desire is to be a network of health institutions and individuals who incarnate the values and shared convictions of the Mennonite World Conference as adopted by Mennonite World Conference General Council in 2006.
