We believe that these grants enable organizations to address their most critical needs and opportunities as they arise and improve conditions for the residents that live in our 17-town rural region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We have also provided program-restricted funding to organizations with a larger geographic footprint, recognizing that creating change often requires efforts beyond our local community. Historically this has included support for advocacy and network-based initiatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our aim is to balance local impact with broader regional or statewide initiatives that benefit our community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We also understand that determining a nonprofit\u2019s geographic eligibility can be cloudy at times.

Our Prescription Assistance Program provides direct financial support through three community partners who administer the program: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchesscap.org\/what-we-do\/case-mgmt\/prescription-assistance.html\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">Community Action Partnership for Dutchess County<\/mark><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbiahealthnet.org\/programs\/prescription\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">The Healthcare Consortium<\/mark><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/salisburyfamilyservices.org\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">Salisbury Family Services<\/mark><\/a>.

Without reliable transportation options, rural residents\u2014particularly seniors and those with limited mobility\u2014face significant barriers to accessing preventative healthcare, maintaining proper nutrition, and participating in community life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since identifying transportation as a key healthcare barrier in our 2004 community assessment, FCH has taken a strategic approach to supporting transportation providers through various capacity-building efforts. Beyond direct operational funding, we&#8217;ve invested in needs assessments, efficiency studies, and operational improvements to help our partners better serve the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through continued partnerships with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geercares.org\/transportation\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">Geer Senior Village Community<\/mark>,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbiahealthnet.org\/programs\/medical-transportation\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">The Healthcare Consortium<\/mark><\/a>, and<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\"> <\/mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neccmillerton.org\/transportation\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">North East Community Center<\/mark><\/a>, we\u2019re working to ensure that geographic isolation doesn\u2019t prevent residents from accessing the care and resources they need to thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<style>\n  <\/style>\n \n\n<div  class=\"wp-block-sidebar block_78da8e19c030aa4113ffd77b3d7fc262\">\n  <section class=\"sidebar\" data-entrance=\"sidebar\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n              <div class=\"col image-col\">\n          <div class=\"image\">\n                                  <\/div>\n          <div class=\"content\">\n                          <h4 class=\"heading\">\n                The Impact of Transportation Services on Our Rural Communities              <\/h4>\n                                                  <div class=\"body-copy\">\n                <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3202\" src=\"https:\/\/fchealth.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSTransportation-e1685024955860-230x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n                                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/fchealth.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Web-Transportation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"cta\">Learn More<\/a>\n                      <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">School-Based Oral Health<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2007, FCH has supported school-based oral health services as a key funding priority, beginning with <a href=\"https:\/\/brookermemorial.org\/pediatric-dental\/school-dental-programs\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-indigo-600-color\">Brooker Memorial<\/mark><\/a>\u2019s pioneering program \u2013 the first of its kind in Litchfield County.

These programs deliver essential preventative oral care directly in schools, benefiting both children and families \u2013 children gain improved self-esteem, fewer absences, and avoid more serious dental procedures, while parents and caregivers are spared the challenges of scheduling appointments, taking time off work, and arranging transportation.
