Samaritan Wellness is a labour of love and a true product of God’s grace through some very difficult circumstances. Racheal Janz and Krista Friesen, the managers and owners of Samaritan Wellness Inc, both have a passion for serving the Lord in the healthcare field. Racheal worked for over 20 years doing a vast array of jobs behind the scenes at the C.W. Wiebe Clinic. Krista is a nurse and worked for 10 years at Boundary Trails, the last 8 years being in critical care and the emergency department.

To describe Samaritan Wellness simply, we are Christ-centered and strive to love and serve others as Christ did. We are privately owned without any government funding, but we want to work alongside the government systems that are currently in place. There is room for all of us, with so many needing care in our communities!

Many agencies offer similar services in clients' homes. We are unique in that, despite being a “business,” we aim to keep a “mission mindset.” We aim to provide holistic care, understanding that one’s spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being dramatically impacts a person's physical health. Hence, our motto is “Bridging the gap between health and wellness.”
