Memorial Hospital Foundation receives matching grant from MTC Communications, CoBank

CARTHAGE, Ill. — Memorial Hospital Foundation has received a donation of $5,000 from MTC Communications and CoBank’s Sharing Success Matching Grant Program.

Matching funds received from this opportunity will support the Foundation’s Strengthening Minds, Building Futures campaign, which seeks to raise funds for Memorial Medical Clinic Mobile. This mobile clinic will allow mental health professional counselors to provide students with needed support, therapy and resources directly on their school’s campus.

The mobile unit is licensed to serve children ages 4 through 18 throughout the region. It will address common challenges such as anxiety, depression, social/emotional difficulties, ADHD and emotional dysregulation. The team will be licensed to assist schools with IEP education.

In a press release, Jay Griswold, president/CEO at MTC Communications, said, “This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to empowering rural communities with innovative solutions and reliable connectivity. By supporting mental health services, we are investing in the well-being and future success of our communities.”

Greta Wetzel, executive director of Memorial Hospital Foundation, said, “We are incredibly grateful for MTC and CoBank’s charitable contribution to this campaign.
