Behavioral Health Care Assistance: Strengthening our Communities
Over the past year, we’ve seen national media spotlighting mental health struggles—and experienced heartbreak right here in our own communities.
These challenges are something we see every day, and more than ever, it feels like the public is calling for real, lasting change. While there are many worthy
causes and grants, we wanted to create something that would directly benefit the people in our own service area—something local, impactful, and deeply
needed.
That’s why Boone County Health Center created the Behavioral Health Financial Assistance Fund: to remove financial barriers and expand access to essential
behavioral health services right here in our community. Every dollar donated stays local, helping provide direct support where it’s needed most.
Because when we support behavioral health, we support each other—and that’s what neighbors do.
Our Mission
Since our inception in 1988, the Boone County Health Center Foundation’s purpose has been “To engage our community in supporting Boone County Health Center & Clinics through charitable giving that enhances patient care, expands services, and funds vital healthcare projects”. Our role as beneficiary to the Health Center has grown over the years and we now have five members that serve as ambassadors for their local communities.
The Boone County Health Center continues to benefit from the generosity and support of so many in our service area. Community support along with quality, caring employees and providers make it possible to maintain outstanding healthcare service close to home for many years to come and for that we Thank You!
