Many in our community face the difficult choice between paying for healthcare and paying for essential needs, like food and clothes. Some skip doctor’s appointments, delay procedures or go without necessary prescriptions. The Healthcare Fund helps people cover copays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket medical costs, including medical, dental, eyecare and prescriptions. Your donation helps a person with diabetes afford insulin or ensures someone with high blood pressure receives the medication needed to stay healthy.

The Community Needs Fund helps those in need of food, clothing, transportation, or housing and utility costs. Homelessness affects people in our own community. Some sleep in their cars during winter, while others struggle to pay for food, utilities or transportation. Patients receive referrals to community organizations such as churches, but sometimes those resources run out or their circumstances don’t qualify. Your donation helps with food, clothing, transportation, housing, and utility costs, all the way to work boots for a father or diapers for a newborn baby.

Addiction is a complex, chronic condition that affects the brain and decision-making, often leaving individuals without the necessary resources, like copays or transportation, to seek recovery. Treatment options like medication-assisted therapy (MAT) play a crucial role in supporting recovery, helping to reduce the risk of overdose and providing individuals with a safer path toward healing.  The Path to Recovery Fund can help bridge the gap to cover the costs of medications, lab tests, and treatment for those facing substance use challenges. Your generous donation provides vital support to someone taking important steps toward recovery.

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but counseling offers a safe space to work through those struggles. Mental health and psychiatric counseling helps individuals cope with anxiety, depression, trauma and other conditions, allowing them to heal and live fulfilling lives. The Mental Health Counseling Fund supports access to therapy, providing a lifeline for those in need. Your donation gives someone struggling mentally the support and resources needed to cope and thrive.

The next generation of healthcare professionals is essential to the future of our community. The Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for students pursuing degrees in healthcare, helping them achieve their dreams. Your donation helps a future nurse, doctor, or therapist take the first step toward a rewarding career in healthcare.

Comprehensive Health Network, a subsidiary of Family Health, has been providing home care to the residents of Darke County and the surrounding communities since 1988. It’s often hard to make the decision to have someone come into a home to help care for a loved one. However, if given the choice, home is where everyone wishes to remain. Patients need assistance as a result of an accident, illness, or surgery, or to fulfill their wish to remain in their home through the aging process. Your donation can help someone struggling with the cost of medical supplies and equipment, emergency call systems, education for patients and caregivers, and home care services.

Unforeseen needs arise throughout the year, from purchasing new equipment for school-based dental programs to offering dietitian services for those at risk of diabetes. The General Fund allows us to address these immediate needs, ensuring we can meet the evolving demands of our community. Your donation ensures that Family Health Services remains prepared to care for those who rely on us.

Your charitable contribution directly supports those who need it most, ensuring Family Health Services continues its mission of care and compassion. Together, we create a lasting impact on our community’s health and well-being, and continue building healthy lives together.

Thank you for your generosity!
