💙 Community Partnerships Make a Difference!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Search Thrift Shop in Mt. Jackson for their latest generous donation of clothing to our Food Pharmacy!

At Shenandoah Community Health Clinic, we know that caring for our neighbors goes far beyond medical care. Sometimes it is groceries, a warm coat, or simply knowing someone cares.

Partnerships like this allow us to address more than healthcare needs by helping families overcome everyday challenges.

💙 Sometimes healthcare looks like a doctor's visit. Sometimes it looks like a bag of groceries. And sometimes, it looks like a warm coat and the kindness of a neighbor.

Thank you, Search Thrift Shop, for continuing to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors, friends, and families!

💙 Sometimes the Greatest Partnerships Start with a Simple Hello!

A hello 9 years ago on a soccer field. A quick conversation at a community meeting. Then a longer discussion about the needs of our neighbors and why working together just makes sense.

Sometimes those small moments grow into something much greater—relationships, partnerships, and connections that create real opportunities to make a difference.

Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with Response, a local organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence. Through advocacy, crisis support, education, and connections to essential resources, Response helps individuals navigate difficult circumstances, find safety, and begin rebuilding their lives.

Our conversation focused on the importance of both physical and mental health, not only when someone is leaving an unsafe domestic situation, but also while they are navigating the challenges of a relationship.

Emotional trauma, stress, anxiety, and physical health concerns can have lasting effects. Sometimes the first step toward a healthier future is simply having someone to talk to, access to medical care, or knowing that there are people and organizations ready to help without judgment.

These conversations remind us that healthcare is about so much more than what happens inside the walls of a clinic. It is about understanding the whole person, recognizing the barriers they face, and building a network of support that meets them where they are.

At Shenandoah Community Health Clinic, we believe strong partnerships create stronger communities. Organizations like Response bring expertise and resources that complement the medical and behavioral health services we provide. Together, we can help individuals address not just one immediate need, but the many factors that influence their health, safety, and overall well-being.

💙 Sometimes a partnership begins with a simple hello. What it grows into can change someone's life.

We are grateful for Response and for a community that continues to see the value in connecting people, sharing resources, and working toward a common goal—healthier, safer, and stronger neighbors, friends, and families.

❤️ Sometimes access to healthcare means making sure the medicine is there after the appointment is over.

Recently, a patient who is new to our country came to Shenandoah Community Health Clinic for help.

The patient is working and doing their best to build a life here, but they cannot afford health insurance. They also rely on medications that are expensive—far beyond what they could reasonably afford each month without coverage.

Simply writing a prescription wasn't enough.

Our staff worked with the patient to complete the necessary paperwork and apply directly to the medication manufacturers' patient assistance programs. Through that work, we were able to secure the medications at no cost to the patient, allowing them to continue their treatment without interruption.

For this patient, that meant one less impossible choice between paying for medicine and paying for everyday necessities.

This is an important part of what we do at SCHC that often happens quietly behind the scenes.

Our patients come from many different walks of life. Some have insurance. Some have Medicaid or Medicare. Some are working but simply cannot afford coverage. Regardless of how someone arrives at our door, our goal is the same: help them get the care they need and find solutions to the barriers standing in their way.

A huge thank you to our staff who take the extra time to complete applications, make phone calls, follow up on paperwork, and advocate for our patients.

And thank you to our donors and community partners. Your support allows us to do more than provide an appointment. It allows us to help our neighbors navigate a complicated healthcare system and stay connected to the care and medications they need.

Because healthcare doesn't end when the patient walks out of the exam room. ❤️

💙 **740 patients. 3,826 visits. One community caring for its neighbors.**💙

As we head into the final months of 2026, we want to share what your support has helped make possible.

Through the end of September, our team has provided **3,826 medical and behavioral health visits to 740 unique patients** — including **169 Medicaid patients and 373 uninsured individuals**.

And the need continues to grow. **In September alone, 12 new uninsured patients came through our doors seeking care.**

Behind every number is a neighbor — someone managing a chronic condition, struggling to afford healthcare, needing mental health support, or simply looking for a place where they can receive compassionate care regardless of their ability to pay.

As we enter the final months of the year, our clinic is continuing to adapt to administrative and healthcare changes while working hard to make sure our community still has access to the care it needs.

**This is where your support matters.** Every donation helps us continue providing care to uninsured and underinsured neighbors who might otherwise go without.

We love serving this community, and we are grateful for every patient, donor, partner, volunteer, and supporter who makes this work possible.

📱 Something NEW is coming to Shenandoah Community Health Clinic!

We are excited to announce the launch of Healow, our new patient portal and app connected directly to our eClinicalWorks medical record system.

Our goal is simple: make it easier for you to stay connected to your healthcare.

With Healow, patients can have more convenient access to their health information and communicate with our clinic from their phone or computer. Depending on the services available through your account, you may be able to:

• View upcoming appointments
• Request or manage appointments
• Review medications and health information
• View lab and test results
• Receive important reminders
• Send secure messages to your care team
• Request medication refills
• Keep more of your healthcare information in one convenient place

Already a patient? Our staff will be helping patients get connected to Healow and making sure you know how to use it.

Not comfortable with technology? That's okay! We aren't replacing the personal connection you have with our team. You can still call us and talk with a real person. Healow is simply another way to make managing your healthcare a little easier.

This is one more step SCHC is taking to improve access, communication, and coordination of care for the people we serve.

More information and instructions will be coming soon!

Better communication. Easier access. More control over your healthcare. ❤️
