Community Involvement

 

Mahaska Health Partnership (MHP) is proud to support the community we serve. Read below to find out some of the projects we are involved in.

School Sports Physicals

Since 2002 our employees have volunteered their time to provide school sports physicals each fall. All of the proceeds from the $15 physicals are donated back to the schools. In 2004, more than $3,500 was donated to local schools.

Members of our team also attend several local football and basketball games to help in times of a student injury. During times of continual budget cuts, we recognize every little bit we can give back to the schools helps them fulfill their missions.

Relay For Life

Relay For Life is a community event to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. MHP has been a proud sponsor of the Mahaska County Relay For Life since 2001. In addition to sponsoring the event, several fundraising activities take place throughout the year to help raise money for Relay For Life.

Scholarships

We recognize how important it is to encourage others to enter the health care field. Each year MHP provides scholarships to three local college-bound students planning to major in a health care field.

These are just a sampling of what MHP does in the community. We continually seek out new activities we can be involved in and ways we can help the people we serve.
