As many know, healthcare can be complicated. In order to maneuver through the system, information and advocacy is often important. Ernie refers to himself as “a resource for the parishioners of Seneca Presbyterian Church and for the community which they serve.” He further states, “By my being available and offering information, I feel that the folks at Seneca Presbyterian are in a better position to make informed health-care decisions than some. It is a privilege to be involved in the parishioners’ lives.”
