Since we took these positions 3 years ago, we have dreamt of ways we could continue to grow and provide affordable care for those that are uninsured or underinsured. We have worked hard to bring awareness to the Community Healthcare Clinic by fundraising, advertising, speaking engagements, and most of all word of mouth. We strive to provide safe, quality care to our patients while also making them feel like family.
We are very excited to announce that we have been awarded money from the Decatur County Community Foundation to grow the services we offer. This is something we have looked forward to for some time! We were awarded $250,000 for 3 years to expand services by offering mental health coverage ( after the 3 years we will have a sustainability plan in place). We look forward to expanding our foot print, providers, and services as this dream comes to fruition. We anticipate late 2025 having our construction complete and being fully operational.
Mental health can come with a stigma, we hope that we can start destroying the stigma and get everyone the help they need.
As a community, we have wrapped our arms around the idea of expanding and supporting mental health. This grant improves the care our patients currently receive by expanding services to include mental health, allowing patients to get the help that they need and deserve regardless of their ability to pay.
We look forward to this exciting opportunity to serve our community and look forward to your continued support!
