Arden Wood does not offer a recommendation in favor or against the use of Medicare or private insurance. The Bible tells us, “God shall supply all your need according to his riches…” (Philippians 4:19), and each of us is demonstrating this fact in accord with our spiritual understanding and our obedience to God’s direction. The titles of several metaphysical articles on topics of health and supply are listed on page 12.
Arden Wood’s ministry is “to support healing through skillful Christian Science nursing care and training, inspired living, and Christly service.” Based upon an individual’s financial situation, Arden Wood offers financial assistance or benevolence grants to patients who may not have insurance or be able to afford the full cost of care.
