As a healthsharing community, we understand the importance of wisely stewarding our health and financial resources. Using Liberty TeleHealth is a flexible way to care for your health and reduce the sharing community’s overall expenses and help preserve SharePower.

Liberty HealthShare is not insurance and as a healthsharing ministry, our members have the freedom to care for their health in a special way and share medical expenses with their fellow members. At the core of our healthsharing community is our collective resources, called SharePower. Each month, our members voluntarily contribute a monthly share to help other members in need. Combined, the funds shared are powerful. In 2020 alone, more than $347 million in medical expenses were shared among members. Protecting our shared resources ensures that we are here for each other now and in the future. Here are a few ways to help you steward the resources of our community.

Our ability to share one another's medical expenses is dependent on the overall health of our community. When you choose to partake in healthy lifestyle habits, you contribute to our healthsharing community and support your fellow members by protecting our SharePower. Everyone's actions impact the ministry and our collective resources and we commit to caring for our health responsibly, and this decision supports our core values of stewarding our resources. By properly caring for ourselves, we can better care for our lives, families, and our healthsharing community.
