make a local impact
When you give to Primary Health Care (PHC) you’re giving to an organization that has been serving vulnerable Iowans for nearly 45 years! PHC steps up to fill gaps in the communities we serve, and we’re proud to provide excellent care and service to our clients and patients. We need you to remain a sustainable source of care for well into the future. What does your gift support?
-
Your support provides medical care to pregnant moms on Medicaid, who already struggle to get by.
-
Your support provides a deposit for a person experiencing homelessness, who needed just a bit of extra help to secure a safe home.
-
Your support ensures kids in need have access to preventative and emergency dental care.
-
Your support helps PHC with other important programs such as behavioral health services embedded in our primary care clinics and medication assisted treatment for patients seeking help for substance use disorder. Â
-
Your support ensures patients do not put their health in jeopardy because they can’t afford their prescriptions, by providing access to many lower cost prescriptions available at the PHC Pharmacy.
Donor support is crucial to all of these programs and services. Please consider giving today.
