We Are a Benevolence Organization

Wellsprings of Florida is primarily a benevolence organization supporting Christian Science nursing in Florida. We also provide information and specialized services for Christian Scientists in Florida.  

A board of directors, empowered under non-profit statutes of the laws of the State of Florida, manages the Wellsprings organization. Members of the board are all members of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. They can always be contacted through our email and phone number. 

Wellsprings' Unique and Specialized Programs

Since the National Fund for Christian Science Nursing was established a few years ago, it has become the primary source of benevolence for patients seeking financial assistance both around the country and in Florida. Christian Scientists can now directly contact the National Fund for the same benevolence assistance that Wellsprings had previously provided. 

Because of this significant change, Wellsprings has developed a very specialized approach toward benevolence that focuses on the urgent needs of today that cannot be met by the National Fund alone. Helping support Christian Science nurses in Florida helps make Christian Science nursing more available for all Christian Scientists regardless of financial need.

Current Activities and Services 

The Florida Christian Science Nurse Call Center
When Christian Scientists call the Wellsprings phone number, (407) 880-8700, they are referred to the on-call Christian Science nurse for assistance in learning more about Christian Science nursing services and locating a self-employed Journal-listed Christian Science nurse who may be available to provide care.

This Journal-listed Christian Science nurse, who answers the calls coming to our call center, communicates with other independent Christian Science nurses throughout Florida. This also allows Christian Science nurses to network with each other, coordinating schedules and availability, and even partner on cases when needed. This helps participating Christian Science nurses connect with patients in need of their services.

The Wellsprings Christian Science Nurses Travel Grant Program
These grants are for Christian Science nurses to be reimbursed for their travel costs to and from their patients. This helps to resolve a challenge in Florida that we have been dealing with for years: how to serve Christian Scientists in remote and underserved areas of the state. The program is not based on financial need, so every Christian Scientist using Christian Science nursing care can benefit. The travel grant for each trip is paid directly to the Christian Science nurse, whether it is a long trip or a short trip. The patient only needs to pay for the Christian Science nursing care services.   Christian  Science  nurses that would like to  know more about this program should contact Wellsprings of Florida at (407) 880-8700.
