About Third John
Third John Healthcare is a brand name used by Third John Health Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of Third John is to advance the systematic integration of biblical evidence (truths) with scientific evidence (facts) in the delivery of whole-person health care. As a Christian organization, we believe the Bible is the ultimate authority for living our best lives. As a collective of health professionals, we believe quality research is the ultimate guide for choosing and using healthy practices to achieve our best lives. So we decided to combine, or systematically integrate, the two and offer Bible-based healthcare like never practiced or experienced before.
This page has a lot of information about us. We tried to break it up and group data together to make it easier to process. If you have any questions before signing up for a decidedly Christian healthcare experience, we encourage you to contact us.
OUR BASICS
Scripture: The name Third John is taken from scripture that supports whole-person care: Beloved, we want you to have a prosperous life journey that includes wellness in body [physical health], uncorrupt truth [spiritual health], and proper thoughts, emotions, and desires [psychological health]. 3 John 1:2
Philosophy:
-
We believe the Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God that provides evidence (truth) for best practices and outcomes in health and wellness.
-
We believe proper scientific investigation provides evidence (facts) for best practices and outcomes in health and wellness.
-
We believe biblical truths and scientific facts always agree and provide evidence-based practices for health and wellness.
-
We endeavor always to employ evidence-based practices in the delivery of health and wellness services to achieve the best outcomes for Christian men and the community of faith.
OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WHOLE PERSON
We believe, according to Genesis 1, that man was made in the image of God. We also believe the Father, Son, and Spirit are one (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Colossians 2:9). This biblical evidence (truth) carries two really important implications: 1) as the Father, Son, and Spirit have relationship, so too are men to have relationships; and 2) as God is three in one, so too are men three in one.
Relationship: At Third John, we endeavor to develop meaningful relationships with the men we serve that promote health and wellness in every area of life.
Three in One: Man = Spirit (theology) + Physical Body (biology) + Soul (psychology). The Third John evidence-based, whole-person model includes care for each and recognizes the significant and necessary overlap between theology, biology, and psychology.
OUR MODEL OF CARE
We use a membership model to reduce costs and improve access to care. This means members pay a monthly or annual membership fee for all basic care needs, and if something comes up that requires additional costs we talk with members about the costs first. No surprise medical bills from Third John. If a member has insurance and we are able to use it, we will. If a member does not have insurance, that is okay. We work with each member and our network to provide the best, affordable healthcare we can. This may include discounts on medications and special pricing for specialty care. Costs vary by location, but our model helps us improve access and affordability.
We also follow the biblical model of giving and use the tithe principle. For every nine (9) paid memberships, Third John enrolls one member for free. For those who join us, our members can be encouraged in knowing they have contributed to blessing someone in need with access to quality healthcare. The Lord commanded His people in Leviticus 23:22 to leave a portion of their harvest fields untouched so people in need could come through their fields and harvest food. We call our free membership a harvest membership because it reminds us of God's blessing in our lives and the privilege to share our harvest with others.
