🎒📚 Join Us in Packing a Brighter Future!

Did you know that 33% of children in St. Louis City live in poverty? That means thousands of students are starting the school year without the supplies they need to succeed. But you can change that.

🌟 Just one backpack filled with supplies can boost a student’s self-esteem by 78% and help them walk into the classroom confident and ready to learn.

🗓️ From July 16 – August 1, we’re collecting donations for our Packed for Success back-to-school drive.

📍Drop off supplies at:

401 Holly Hills Ave., 63111

4352 Manchester Ave., 63110

💻 Or donate online — FCHC will pack a backpack for a student in need!

Let’s give every child the tools to succeed this school year. 💛

NBC News interviewed NACHC’s Chief Policy Officer Joe Dunn about the impact that proposed changes to Medicaid would have on the healthcare workforce, one of the few notably strong areas of the U.S. job market.

“Our health centers operate on razor-thin margins, so any kind of disruption in payments or reimbursements, even for a short time, can have a significant impact,” said Dunn. “About 40% of health centers are in rural America, and oftentimes they are the only primary care in that community. We have health centers in towns of a few hundred people, and there may not be any other kind of health care network there.”

As Medicaid funding hangs in the balance, the stakes are especially high for rural communities that rely on Community Health Centers as their only source of care.
