❤️ February is American Heart Month ❤️

This Heart Month, the Marshall Foundation for Community Health is honored to share an inspiring Story of Resilience — “Not Your Average Joe.”

Joe’s journey began as a teenager in Marshall’s ICU, fighting a virus that attacked his heart. Years later, that fight led to a heart transplant — and a powerful reminder of how lifesaving cardiac care, made possible by community support, truly changes lives.

Dementia Awareness Event, 2025
Marshall Foundation for Community Health brought together close to 60 attendees and more than a dozen community partners and vendors who are committed to supporting individuals and families navigating dementia.

Guests had the chance to learn from dementia expert Laura Wayman - The Dementia Whisperer, whose compassion and practical guidance resonated deeply with the audience. One attendee shared, “I came feeling overwhelmed and left feeling supported, informed, and hopeful.”

Events like these remind us of the powerful ways philanthropy and community connection come together at Marshall. Thank you for being part of this ongoing story. Every contribution and every moment of engagement helps carry our mission forward.
