How We Can All “Care For Our Community”

Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital and local area Community Partners are dedicated to improving the health care needs of the SW Iowa community. The Caring for our Communities (www.caringforourcommunities.com) in Southwest Iowa program is designed to strengthen our communities by linking high-risk individuals with local resources to ultimately empower patients to become accountable for their own health. Working collaboratively with community partners, barriers that prevent some of our most high-risk, complex individuals from accessing health care services will continue to be overcome. Resources are provided that can address problems and guide individuals to a better way of living. Avenues such as counseling disease prevention, healthy eating, mental health counseling, housing assistance, home health care, diabetes care, to name a few, are all integral parts in working with individuals to bring them back to a healthy productive way of life.

This program operates through donations and grants. To find out more on how you can help, please contact Lorrie Reddish, (712) 396-7693 or email lorrie.reddish@nmhs.org. Visit the website for more information on the program at www.caringforourcommunities.com.
