Please join us for our annual CMDA Phoenix retreat!
Why should you consider coming?
We all need community. We especially need to walk with brothers and sisters in Christ who understand the challenges of serving in healthcare. We need reminders of our calling in Christ, and how that helps us stay on mission. (That will be our theme.)
Need more reasons? Introverts -- come enjoy some quiet walks (or hikes) in the mountains. Extroverts -- come hang out with some really cool people! Families -- bring your kids to make some memories. Singles -- come mingle... (c'mon, it crossed your mind... 😉)
The details:
Anyone in healthcare, plus spouses/kids
August 1-3, 2025 (Friday evening - Sunday lunch)
Strawberry Meadow Pines in Strawberry, AZ (about 30 minutes past Payson, about 1 hr 40 minutes from the Phoenix area; much cooler than Metro Phoenix!)
Speakers: Drs. Jeff Dyer (ENT, Heartfire) and Dave Tellez (Phoenix Children's, Neighborhood Christian Clinic)
Bonus breakouts: Women in Healthcare (women-only ), Foundations of Christian Healthcare, and Your Campus, Your Mission Field (student-focused)
And if all that hasn't convinced you, then come for the food! Dr. Bert Matsumoto will serve as our Executive Chef so there will be great food, in addition to lots of time to relax, have fun - and, yes - study as needed.
