Week of Called to Care | $12,500: Mental Health Care

The Power of Your Support: Mental Health Care 💙

In rural communities, access to mental health care can be limited. For many of our patients, finding compassionate, professional support close to home can be a challenge.

$12,500 helps Rural Parish Clinic launch mental health services in a new rural location for six months.

That means creating a safe space where patients can receive support, compassion, and care, right in their own community.

This is why the work of Rural Parish Clinic matters. And it’s why we’re looking forward to gathering with friends and supporters at our upcoming Called to Care benefit.

Together, we’ll celebrate what your support makes possible and look ahead to how we can continue growing care in rural communities.

🩺 Happy Feast Day of St. Luke! 🕊️

St. Luke, the patron saint of physicians and healthcare workers, reminds us of the beautiful connection between healing, compassion, and service to others.

At Rural Parish Clinic, we carry that spirit forward by providing compassionate medical and dental care to uninsured adults in rural communities who might otherwise go without. Through the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters, we strive to care for the whole person, treating each patient with dignity, kindness, and love.

On this feast day, we give thanks for all who use their gifts to bring healing and hope to others. May St. Luke intercede for all healthcare workers and inspire us to continue serving our neighbors with compassionate hearts. 💙

One week until Called to Care | $7,200: Keeping Our Clinics Moving

The Power of Your Support: Bringing Care to Rural Communities 🚐

Our clinics don't wait for patients to come to us. We bring care to them.

Our mobile medical and dental clinics travel thousands of miles each year to reach rural communities where access to healthcare can be limited.

$7,200 provides fuel for both mobile clinic units for one year.

Behind every mile is a patient who can receive care, a health concern that can be addressed, or a relationship that can begin.

This is what we’ll be celebrating at Called to Care: the people, partnerships, and generosity that make it possible for Rural Parish Clinic to keep moving forward.

Two weeks until Called to Care — $5,400 | The Gift of a Smile

The Power of Your Support: The Gift of a Smile 🦷

Imagine living with painful or missing teeth for years, not being able to eat comfortably or smile with confidence.

For some Rural Parish Clinic patients, dental care can mean much more than treating a tooth. It can restore comfort, confidence, dignity, and quality of life.

$5,400 supports the necessary extractions and a full set of dentures for one patient.

At Called to Care, we’ll celebrate stories like these and the impact made possible by the friends and supporters who believe every person deserves access to care.

We are so grateful for our partnership with the Patterson Foundation! They have awarded the Rural Parish Clinic with a grant for $15,000 to support dental clinic operational expenses.

Serving our communities goes beyond the clinic! 🛠️❤️

Our Rural Parish Clinic staff recently spent a day giving back in St. Francois County, working alongside Habitat for Humanity St. Francois County to help drywall a local home.

We love finding ways to support the communities we serve in all kinds of ways. We especially love opportunities that allow our team to roll up our sleeves, work together, and make a difference!

We’re grateful for the chance to serve alongside our friends at Habitat for Humanity and to be reminded that when we work together, we can help build stronger communities: one home, one patient, and one act of service at a time. 🏡💙

Three weeks until Called to Care | $1,200: One Tooth at a Time

The Power of Your Support: Restoring Health, One Tooth at a Time 🦷

A painful tooth can affect so much more than a person's smile.

When dental problems go untreated, pain and decay can continue to worsen. At Rural Parish Clinic, we have the opportunity to step in and provide care before those problems become even more serious.

$1,200 covers fillings for one quarter of a patient's mouth.

One appointment. One patient. One step toward better health.

We can't wait to celebrate the impact of this work with our friends and supporters at Called to Care.
