Investing in New Ideas

that create widespread health improvement

Rachel’s life and death inspired our family to raise awareness about the rise of colorectal cancer among young adults. We established a DMF fund called "Live Like Rach" so others don’t suffer the same fate. Rachel wasn’t just a person, she was a force. There are ways to beat this, and we’re going to get there.

In 2010, as a first-time executive director, I was encouraged to meet with DMF and the Impact Institute for training and support. If they told us to do something, we did it AND it worked! I still turn to Impact for guidance and support. They help us continue to grow and get better. I am always learning through them.

Dakota Medical Foundation believed in the need for Lend A Hand Up and its potential as a valuable health initiative in this area. Since 2008, alongside community members, we have raised $18 million for 540 families in medical crisis. This is such a testament to the generosity of this community.
