Happy World Book Day 📚💚
Books give us a chance to slow down, step outside of our own thoughts, and enter a different perspective. They can help us feel less alone, put words to emotions we couldn’t quite name, and even offer new ways of understanding ourselves and others.
Whether it’s a novel that lets you escape, a memoir that helps you feel seen, or a resource that supports your growth, reading can be a gentle form of care for your mind.
Even a few minutes a day can:
• Reduce stress
• Improve focus
• Support emotional awareness
Mental health matters, and sometimes healing can begin with turning a page. 📖

In honor of Counseling Awareness Month, here’s a gentle reminder:
You don’t have to wait until things feel “serious enough” to start therapy.
Counseling isn’t just for crisis; it’s for understanding yourself, building healthier patterns, navigating life transitions, and having a space that’s truly yours.
Sometimes the most powerful work happens before things reach a breaking point.
At Hope Counseling Center, we believe seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Mental health matters, and you’re allowed to care for yours.💚

Faith Community Health (FAiTH) is a Christian faith-based charitable clinic providing medical, vision, mental health and prescription services at affordable income-based rates. Our services are available to our neighbors living or working in Ozark Mountain Country, including all of Taney and Stone counties. Sharing God’s love through whole person care is the heartbeat of what we do. It’s our mission to provide access to affordable healthcare for the under-served who live or work in our community.
Registration to demonstrate financial need is necessary for income-based assistance. Our patients pay a portion of the cost of their care, ensuring that they have a personal commitment to improving their own health. We offer classes designed to promote wellness of spirit, mind and body for our clients, helping them learn how to enjoy healthier lifestyles.
In addition to primary care, FAiTH offers a full service medication office five days a week to meet the pharmaceutical needs of our patients. Patients have access to all of their prescription needs for a simple $10 monthly administrative fee. Prescriptions may be filled at area pharmacies if patients prefer or if we are unable to supply a particular need. We do not dispense narcotics.
Same day urgent care visits are available with KwikCare for just $75 or less. Patients may be seen in person or via KwikCare Online in our clinic. Services include treatment for colds and flu, stomach viruses, allergies, strep throat, urinary tract infections, bug bites, bee stings, minor cuts and burns, strains and sprains.
Our patients also have access to vision care services that offer income-based exam fees and low, affordable prices for eye wear, saving our patients hundreds of dollars.
FaithCare is an employer-based healthcare benefit program that provides a solution to area employers for the medical and vision needs of their uninsured workforce. With monthly subscription plans beginning at $29/month for employers and $10 appointment fees for members, FaithCare is an innovative solution to offer direct primary healthcare services for uninsured employees. FaithCare helps businesses improve employee recruitment and retention, equipping them to better respond to labor pressures in a growing economy.
FAiTH is making a big impact in the lives of thousands of hardworking people and their families in our community. We serve hundreds of patients with chronic medical needs like Diabetes, COPD, high blood pressure and cardiac disease. Without our assistance, most of these patients would be unable to obtain the medicines and healthcare needed for them to remain healthy and provide for their families.
Research demonstrates that Faith Community Health creates over $600,000 annually in savings for local hospitals. FAiTH partners with Dispensary of Hope for access to pharmaceuticals for our patients. A comprehensive Dispensary of Hope study showed that charitable clinics like ours offering prescriptions to patients who otherwise could not afford them reduce inpatient admissions by more than half. Emergency department visits decrease by more than 35%, with cost savings greater than 40%. Because most of our patients have no health insurance, hospital care often creates an impossible burden for their families.
We create value. Faith Community Health saves the families of our patients millions of dollars each year while helping them improve their health. Branson area businesses benefit from a healthier workforce with less missed work days and employees who are enabled to provide superior guest services consistently. Cox Medical Center Branson is able to refer patients with limited ability to pay for services to FAiTH to ensure that their ongoing medical needs are met, reducing preventable hospital admissions and ER visits. And the impact of hundreds, perhaps thousands of patients having the resources they need to remain healthy and in the workforce, supporting their families rather than growing dependent on others, is incalculable.
Faith Community Health provides a 10 to 1 return on investment. In other words, the value we provide to our community is 10 times greater than the cost of our operations, thanks to partnerships with organizations like Dispensary of Hope, Direct Relief, AmeriCares, UMKC at MSU School of Pharmacy, the Skaggs Foundation, drug manufacturers, Ozarks Family Vision Centre and CoxHealth.
How do we do this when patient fees cover only a portion of the cost of care? We are dependent on the generous donations of businesses, churches and families who recognize the value of our work and care about the well-being of their friends and neighbors. Without you, Faith Community Health would not be able to bring hope to the more than 6,000 patients we have served. You make a huge difference in the lives of many families. Thank you for caring. May God bless you!
