Jason Larsen is the executive director of St. Clare Health Mission - a free clinic. His crucial work includes nonprofit mission advancement, program development, and philanthropy through dilution of idealistic visions into pragmatic solutions.
We will hear a report and update about the great work being done through the collective efforts of our Coulee Region Rotary Clubs as St. Clare Mission uses the Rotary Mobile Clinic in its outreach.
Sierra Lyon, with Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) at Gundersen Health System, gave an inside look at what the CMN does for our community.
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals care for 1-in-10 children in our country, and Gundersen is proud to be one of them. CMN helps kids in our 25-county service area fighting medical battles, no matter where they receive care. Every dollar goes where it's needed most: research, life-saving equipment, therapeutic programs and charitable care and assistance to save and improve the lives of local children.
