WELCOME TO MADISON LIONS CLUB
Each year, the Madison Lions Club recognizes a member of the local community that shows “Lion Like” character, but is not currently a member of the Lions Club, which is the world’s largest service organization. The award recipient epitomizes the Lions motto of “We Serve”.
This year’s Heart of a Lion recipient is Caring Hands at the Madison Care Center.
In 2003, Nurse Practitioner Susan Montgomery initiated an in home medical ministry to help fellow church members in need. By 2006, it had grown into a fully operational clinic known as Caring Hands Ministries at First Baptist Church of Madison.
In 2012, five local churches, First Baptist Madison, Pinelake Church, Broadmoor Baptist Church, Ridgecrest Baptist Church and Highland Colony Baptist Church joined forces in an effort to better serve those in need in our local community. The collaboration led to the creation of Caring Hands at the Madison Care Center, a non profit clinic of all volunteer workers who serve patients the third Thursday of each month from the Care Center of Pinelake’s Madison Campus.
The organization provides basic dental and medical care for chronic diseases such as hypertension, and diabetes and other illnesses as well as medical evaluation, medication and laboratory evaluation, while also serving the patients spiritual needs. There is no charge to the patients of the clinic as doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, lab offices and staff all volunteer their services. Pharmaceuticals are donated or purchased at cost and provided to patients free of charge.
Caring Hands is a local organization that truly embodies the Lion Motto, “We Serve!”
Through medical, dental and pharmaceutical care, Caring Hands seeks to change the local community one life at a time by responding to practical, physical, social and spiritual needs while spreading the Good News of Jesus for the honor and glory of God. They welcome medical professionals and caring individuals of our local community to join them in this mission.
Please welcome Ken Murphy, Michelle Hall, Tracey Kinsey, Jean Walker and Daniel Scoggin as representatives of Caring Hands at the Madison Care Center, the recipient of our 2019 “Heart of a Lion” Award.
2018 Heart of a Lion Award Winner – Mr. Ken Hackman
