Congratulations to Hope Within Community Health Center! The Greater Harrisburg Regional Foundation recently awarded Hope Within Community Health Center (HWCHC) a grant in the amount of $20,000 to complete the third and final year of program implementation under the “Pathways and Connections to Care” health access initiative. Hope Within is a medical clinic located in Elizabethtown which provides free medical care to uninsured and underinsured individuals residing in Dauphin and Lancaster counties. Care is provided by 1 full-time and 6 part-time staff, and over 50 dedicated volunteers including physicians, nurses, a physical therapist, and other allied health professionals. The first two years of the project were dedicated to program planning, cultivation of new partnerships with service providers, leveraging resources, and outreach to the community. From now through June 2011, the project will focus on expanding services into the community through satellite clinic sites. Collaborative partnerships have been developed with Pinnacle Health Systems, Hershey Medical Center, Lancaster General Hospital, pharmacies, counseling centers, HACC Dental Hygiene program, Tristan Associates and many others. These partners provide HWCHC with laboratory, pharmaceutical, dental, mental health, and radiology services. Hope Within serves as a life line for an increasing number of individuals that have been hit by the recent economic recession, particularly those impacted by unemployment and loss of medical benefits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strategic Planning WITHOUT the Migraine! – Create a Clear Strategic Plan – First Session is FREE!!!!!
