JOIN our TEAM

MKHC Caring Clinicians

We have officially launched our first year-round, peer-to-peer fundraising initiative to provide ongoing support for the Mansfield Kaseman Health Clinic (MKHC) and the Montgomery County patients it serves. As you may know, fundraising is a team sport, and we aim to build a dream team filled with caring clinicians (including practicing and retired doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals) who are willing to start or elevate their philanthropy by helping us raise at least $50,000 this fiscal year (July 2025-June 2026). Clinicians who join the team will help lead efforts to recruit new MKHC donors and/or fundraisers. They may also choose to become donors themselves if they are not already. 

All team members will be recognized for their efforts, including being featured in Reach's newsletter, on MKHC's webpage, and/or on various social media platforms. They will also be recognized on a virtual and/or physical wall alongside other MKHC supporters. Additionally, they will be honored at a special Cocktails at the Clinic event at the end of the fiscal year.  

Join the team today and help us continue to give the gift of better health!
