They Were with Samaritan Ministries for HOW LONG?

When you hear about someone who’s been part of a health share for nearly three decades, you can’t help but pay attention.

In my latest short video, I share a review from a longtime Samaritan Ministries member who joined all the way back in 1997 — and after all these years, they still have positive things to say about their experience.

That’s not something you see every day in healthcare.

If you’re not familiar with Samaritan Ministries, I’ve written a full Samaritan Ministries Review that explains how it works, who it’s best for, and what to expect as a member.

What really stands out about Samaritan (and other health shares like it) is the community-driven approach. Instead of paying a large corporation, members send their monthly share directly to another person in need. It’s personal, faith-centered, and built around helping one another — which is what healthcare should feel like.

For people of faith who want an alternative to traditional insurance, Samaritan Ministries continues to be one of the most established and trusted names in the health share space.

If you’re exploring health shares and want to understand how they work, what makes each one different, and which might be the best fit for you — I’ve broken it all down for you in my Best Health Shares blog post here.

Health shares are not insurance and do not offer insurance coverage. Membership in a health share does not guarantee the payment or reimbursement of medical expenses. Each organization operates under its own membership guidelines, which determine what expenses may be eligible for sharing. This publication is for informational purposes only and is not provided by an insurance company. For state-specific notices and full program details, please visit the respective health share’s official website.

Hello! My name is Holly, and I am so happy you have found my website! Before I left the workforce to become a stay-at-home mom, I spent 11 years working for an Investing Education company, later acquired by a large brokerage firm, where I specialized in Risk Management. With that experience, I have become very thorough with legal documents, which I used to comb through and really deep dive into each Health Share’s website to determine what medical bills are actually shareable with their members. I have created Health Share 101 to provide the information you need to make an educated decision for you and your family.
