NEW! Riceville Clinic Update
With great excitement, we share that the new Riceville Clinic is now open! This milestone was made possible through the generosity of supporters like you. As part of Mitchell County Regional Health Center (MCRHC), the clinic provides vital healthcare services to Riceville and the surrounding communities. While we celebrate this achievement, our work is not done. The total cost of bringing this clinic to life exceeded $1.6 million, and we are still gratefully accepting financial support to help offset these expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, strengthens local healthcare and ensures a healthier future for our community.
In addition, we are looking forward to the Riceville Pharmacy, which will be located inside the clinic and is set to open later this year. Your continued generosity helps bring this much-needed service to completion.
We invite you to make a meaningful impact by joining our giving community:
