NEWS RELEASE – December 16, 2024

ARH Foundation Donates $5,000 to Hand in Hand to Support Community Outreach

Prestonsburg, KY – The ARH Foundation for Healthier Communities is proud to announce a $5,000 donation to Hand in Hand, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives by assisting with housing, education, and health care needs of the economically vulnerable in Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin, and Martin counties. This donation reflects the ARH Foundation’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the well-being of local families and fostering healthier communities.

 

“We’re proud to provide this funding to Hand in Hand as they continue to be a major source of support for our neighbors,” said Angela Bailey, Executive Director of the ARH Foundation. “Together, we’re all working to make sure that help is there for those who need it most.”

The $5,000 donation will enable Hand in Hand to continue their work, addressing a long list of families still in need of services. These funds will help with projects such as repairing homes, building accessibility ramps, and ensuring food security for vulnerable families.

 

“We believe in making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Hand in Hand’s mission aligns closely with our own commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community,” said Jonathan Koonce, CEO of Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center. “We are honored to support their incredible work and help transform lives in Eastern Kentucky.”

 

The ARH Foundation is dedicated to furthering healthcare, education, and community involvement for the communities served by Appalachian Regional Healthcare. Guided by a mission to strengthen communities and foster resilience, the ARH Foundation partners with organizations like Hand in Hand to ensure that no one is left behind.
