Help us provide care for the most vulnerable in our community

Your donation supports Bluestem Health programs that address a few of the biggest needs in our city: dental care for patients on Medicaid and diabetes education for our patients with prediabetes and diabetes.  Many of the patients receiving these services have extremely limited, or otherwise cost-prohibitive, access to the care they need. Here’s why your support matters:

  • 82% of our dental patients are Uninsured or on Medicaid
  • Our no-cost Diabetes Education programs help patients gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage their condition successfully.

When you donate to Bluestem Health between now and May 28, you’re helping us continue to offer life-changing support.
