Organizations in and around Laclede County who are interested in improving health care in their communities should attend an upcoming meeting hosted by Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH). Attendees can learn more about grant programs available through MFH, as well as more about MFH.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 11 am – 1:30 pm, Lebanon-Laclede County Library, 915 South Jefferson, in Lebanon.
