Bringing Health Services Closer to Home
St. Luke’s Episcopal Medical Ministry is a mobile medical ministry in Northwest Louisiana. Using our medical RV, we provide free preventive health screenings, basic health services, health education, and medical referrals on a regular basis to the underserved in the rural and urban Louisiana communities of Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Desoto, and Claiborne parishes.

John Wheless was a native of Jackson, MS, and a resident of Shreveport for 56 years. He was a lifelong member of St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral, where he served on the Church Vestry for many years. As an alumnus of LSU Baton Rouge and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, John’s commitment extended beyond the realm of his faith and education. He also contributed his time and expertise as a valued member of the Board of St. Luke’s Episcopal Mobile Medical Ministry. Moreover, he embraced his family’s legacy as a fourth-generation co-owner of Allen Millwork, Inc.
A wonderful group of volunteers, both medical and non-medical, provides all our services. We’ve been offering medical services since the end of 2008, and continue to grow in the number of Louisiana communities we serve and services we provide.
In 2023 we held 253 clinics, providing services to 1,986 clinics visits. Of the 950 people, 204 were homeless.
