The church collected $5,275 in less than six weeks, according to the report. RIP Medical Debt was able to purchase $1.65 million worth of debt from those funds, which will relieve the debts of 1,356 people in Forsyth and Davidson counties. 

The church is planning to continue the project, possibly partnering with churches in Davidson counties before moving on to assist other area counties, according to the report. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
