Each person’s health journey is unique, but one thing unites us all: the power of perseverance and community.
At Impact Health Sharing, we see this every day through our members’ stories—people who have faced serious health trials yet found recovery, resilience, and renewed purpose through the support of their Impact community.
This post celebrates those journeys and reminds us that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens when we share the load together.
Resilience in the Face of Challenges
Finding strength when life changes overnight
When health challenges strike, resilience becomes more than a word—it’s a lifeline.
Many Impact members have faced moments of uncertainty but chose to lean into their faith, their families, and their community for strength. Their stories show how courage and consistency can spark transformation, even in the toughest seasons.
Chanelle’s story
“On August 7, 2024, my mom RANG THE BELL to signify that she had won the battle against breast cancer, and it was due to the grace of God and Impact Health Sharing!” Chanelle shared.
“Before Impact, my mom didn’t have any healthcare coverage because, like millions of other small business owners, she didn’t think she could afford it. Thankfully, she enrolled with Impact several months before a screening revealed that she had breast cancer.
“From the time of the diagnosis, my mom has been under the care of some of the top physicians in [Washington] D.C. although she lives in Baltimore with NO extra out-of-pocket costs because there are no network restrictions with Impact.”
Her advice to anyone who pays out of pocket for healthcare and is overall healthy is to see if Impact is right for you and your family ASAP. “Don’t start looking for healthcare [provisions] when it’s too late!”
The Power of Community Support
Healing together: How the Impact community makes a difference
No one should have to face a health crisis alone.
Through Impact Health Sharing, members not only share medical needs but also share prayers, encouragement, and compassion. This sense of belonging fuels emotional and spiritual healing alongside physical recovery.
David’s story
David is a 63-year-old veterinarian and Impact member since 2020 and had never needed to use his membership. Healthy and active, he decided to finally schedule a routine checkup in early 2024 using his complimentary wellness visit.
That appointment uncovered a serious, previously undetected condition. Within months, David underwent a successful radical prostatectomy.
“I’m forever grateful to the Impact community,” he shared. “That one visit set everything in motion and may very well have saved my life. I’m especially thankful to the members who shared their hard-earned money to support me during such a difficult time—and I’m more than happy to give back when others are in need.”
As David quickly learned, a strong support network helps keep hope alive.

From setback to comeback: Members share their stories

Ginny’s story
“Impact Health Sharing has been the best thing that I've ever done for my medical assistance. After going through breast cancer and being on insurance previously, I have had such a breath of fresh air with Impact. From prescriptions to telemed to being affordable and user friendly. I highly recommend this for any family, age, or demographic.”
Kari’s story
“My son had a terrible accident that was life-threatening and the nice thing is that we could choose where to go. That hospital was paid within 17 days. It was incredible!
Stacy’s story
"I put off getting preventive care because I didn't have reliable healthcare. But with Impact, I have no fear because Impact has my back and I know I will be taken care of."
