The Manhattan Community Health Foundation reflects the community’s passion for improving the health and wellness of Manhattan and the surrounding area's residents. One way we are doing this is through the creation of a Dispensary of Hope site in Manhattan.

 

You can help us raise the $50,000 needed for a reliable source of medication for low-income, chronically ill patients. Contributions will create the space, join the Dispensary of Hope network, and operate the location for three years.

 

Without access to affordable medication, many of our community's vulnerable members go untreated, leading to poor individual outcomes, less-than-desired community health, and increased emergency and acute care costs. By joining forces with Ascension Via Christi Hospital, healthcare providers, and other non-profit organizations, we can create a Dispensary of Hope site in Manhattan to help fill this need.

 

The Manhattan Community Health Foundation relies on the generosity of people like you to support the region’s health and wellness needs. Together, we can enhance the skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals, empower the next generation of healthcare professionals, ensure access to quality healthcare space, equipment, and supplies, and strive to address the health and wellness needs of the vulnerable in our community.

 

Join us at the 2024 Crystal Gala to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
