Kelsey has been our ROCKSTAR because she is so versatile and easy to work with. Her major at UWF is Health Promotion and she has even helped run our first-ever virtual fundraiser while PROMOTING our clinic!
Please check it out
. When you donate to the fundraiser, you have a "chance to win" a weekend stay in Destin.
Donate here for a chance to win.
This summer Kelsey finished her college degree by completing an internship at Health and Hope Clinic. She has learned all aspects of how a clinic runs, from working the front desk, interviewing potential patients and ordering ultrasounds. Through Health and Hope, she has made connections and friends and it will be a very hard place to leave. Health and Hope values its volunteers, starting with birthday cards and going-away parties. Kelsey says, "Where’s a better place to volunteer than with people who feel like family?"

In Kelsey's own words:
Health and Hope has been a place
that I genuinely enjoy going to and
has never felt like a day of work.
Instead, it feels like a place that
I can do my part in giving back
to my community.

WE LOVE BEING NEXT DOOR to
The Ministry Village.
For the past few weeks, they have donated food boxes for our clinic patients so when the patient came to the clinic for their appointment or to get medicine, they also received a box of fresh produce. We have also worked closely with MVO to distribute Narcan during a local ministry fair at Pensacola High School. Thank you to Jeremy and the amazing MVO team for being great community partners.
