From Maimonides to Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale to Father Damien, people of faith, ministering to the sick, have seemed larger than life, impossible to emulate. Today, though they may wear heels and baseball caps, attend Mets games and run to appointments, as in the past, they care for the afflicted and the health of their community, since we are all created in the image of God.

Diva Communications presents DIVINE PRESCRIPTION: Stories of Faith, Health, and Community, an hour-long interfaith documentary that shares the stories of people of faith who are taking extraordinary action to address the needs of the sick.
