Mobile Health Unit

The Mobile Health Unit is a great example of how our donors’ generous contributions go directly to providing care for our patients and other members of the community.

School-Based Health Center Care Packages

The External Relations team put some of the money in the Access to Care Fund to use by creating small “care package” bags for kids at the School-Based Health Centers at Lawrence High and Greater Lawrence Technical School.

Prenatal Education Books

Thanks to donations from GLFHC supporters, the External Relations team was able to organize the purchase of prenatal education materials, including 90 books entitled “Baby Basics: Your Month By Month Guide To A Healthy Pregnancy” through the March of Dimes.

Reach Out and Read

The External Relations department coordinated an effort to save the “Reach Out and Read” program from extinction with the help of our donors' generous contributions.
