Raffa

Our nurses are amazing!!

At The Core, we’ve never wanted to settle for just being fit and healthy.

Our mission is to Love Others. Strive for Wholeness. Affect the World.

And one of the most beautiful ways we get to live that out is through the people inside our walls. 💚

Many of you know Theresa Salcido as a fellow Core athlete but she is also a nurse at Raffa Clinic right here in Greenville.
Theresa first connected with Raffa as a patient when she moved to Greenville and found out she was pregnant with her FOURTH baby. Raffa welcomed her, connected her to local resources, and walked alongside her in that season.

Because of how they made her feel, she volunteered during nursing school — simply to give back. And after graduation? God opened the door for her to join the team as a nurse. 🙌
Raffa Clinic serves moms and dads who:
• Know exactly what pregnancy looks like for them
• Or feel scared and unsure of their next step

And they don’t just provide medical care.
They care for the whole person…medically, emotionally, and spiritually.
They offer:
• Pregnancy classes
• Labor & delivery classes
• Boundaries in Adult Relationships classes
• Embrace Grace (a Christian Bible study for single moms needing fellowship and support)

And every single service is FREE.

Sometimes loving someone looks like:
• A bag of Cheez-It’s to ease first trimester nausea
• Diapers and formula during a hard month
• A safe place to ask questions without fear

Raffa depends on community support and donors to continue offering these services and we are so proud that one of our own is part of that mission.

This is what being The Core is about.
Not just strong bodies but strong community.

If you’d like to support Raffa Clinic, you can donate here → https://secure.qgiv.com/for/raffaclinic
or drop of baby clothes, socks for mom and baby, Preggie Pops and individually packaged Cheez-Its to The Core and we will deliver them to Raffa. 💚
