Legacy & Innovation Programs
Philanthropy helps sustain essential healthcare programs and services that extend beyond what traditional healthcare funding and reimbursements can provide.
These legacy and innovative programs remove barriers to care, support patients during critical moments, strengthen our local healthcare workforce, and help ensure our community can access the care it needs close to home.
Reproductive Health Services
Provides access to birth control, IUDs, preventive screenings, and other essential reproductive healthcare, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program)
Ensures survivors of sexual assault can receive timely, trauma-informed forensic and medical care locally rather than traveling hours for help.
Integrated Behavioral Health
Brings mental health support directly into the primary care setting, improving access and helping address anxiety, depression, substance use, and other needs before they escalate.
Medication Assisted Treatment for Substance Use Disorders (MAT)
Provides medication and clinical support for patients recovering from opioid, alcohol, and other substance use disorders, including those who may otherwise be unable to afford treatment.
Bilingual Health Access
Helps patients navigate healthcare, insurance, benefits, transportation, and outside services while reducing language, financial, and health literacy barriers.
Health Month / Prevention
Helps uninsured and underinsured community members access affordable preventive care, annual visits, and screenings before health concerns become more serious and costly.
Sliding Scale Program
Reduces the cost of care based on income for eligible uninsured patients, helping those who fall into coverage gaps receive care when they need it.
Education (MA Apprenticeship & Training)
Builds our local healthcare workforce by supporting community members through medical assistant training, certification, and hands-on clinical experience.
Provider Recruitment
Helps attract and retain the clinicians needed to provide consistent, high-quality care in a rural, high-cost community.
