At the Neighborhood Christian Clinic, we have been blessed by 18 years of faithful leadership from Gary Plooster. His steady hand, humble spirit, and love for the Lord have shaped this ministry and touched countless lives.
Gary has been more than an administrator—he has been a visionary voice. He helped develop the Spiritual Care Curriculum that now trains healthcare professionals to integrate faith into their practice, ensuring that patients are cared for in body, mind, and spirit. He also spearheaded the Clinic’s Behavioral Health initiative, recognizing the urgent need for accessible mental health care for the uninsured and underserved. These efforts, along with his tireless commitment to whole-person care, will have a lasting impact for years to come.
Now, as Gary retires to continue serving God through church planting, we invite you to share a prayer, note of thanks, or favorite memory. Your words will be gathered into a special tribute celebrating his years of selfless service.
It only takes a moment to share, but your message will mean so much. Together, these notes will remind Gary—and all of us—of how God moves through faithful servants and generous hearts.
“Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your master.” – Matthew 25:23
