Over the years, REACH has developed innovative solutions to fund organizations in rural communities. Last week, our board gathered in person in Cass County to hear from partners about health and community needs in their area.
Their stories were deeply moving—tales of children receiving crucial dental and medical health care services from the Cass County Dental Clinic, Cass County Health Department, and Compass Health Network, alongside vital mental health and counseling services offered by You Matter Archie and the Belton School District, not to mention the critical homelessness and food insecurity support provided by the Family Resource Centers of Missouri.
Their inspiring accounts reinforce our commitment to supporting organizations that bridge gaps in areas where essential healthcare services and resources are limited.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Cass County Health Department and Compass Health Clinic for hosting our board and sharing the profound impact and reach of your services. A special thank you to Sarah Czech, MPH, Brad Ratliff, Cynthia Randazzo, Kristie Morton, Sara Jones, Donni Kuck and Shay Jefferson for sharing your stories. Your dedication and compassion are truly inspiring.
