The University of Iowa community sees first-hand the impact of our health agency research grants. You have been generous donors over the years. We are grateful and thank you.

How Your Contributions Help
The greatest challenges have been, and always will be, improving the quality of life and fulfilling the hopes of thousands of ill and disabled Iowans who are awaiting a remedy to their medical problems. Community Health Charities of Iowa does this through:

Research: Member agencies support research in Iowa and throughout the United States. Since 1987, Community Health Charities of Iowa member agencies provided well over nine million dollars to medical research at Iowa universities. As government spending shrinks, these grants become more significant.

Services: In addition to contributing millions of dollars to medical research in Iowa, member agencies provide patient/family services such as: support groups, skills and employment training, specialized equipment, and summer camps. No dollar amount can be assigned to these community services.

Public and Professional Education: The agencies bring national and international authorities to Iowa to share the latest in research, diagnosis and treatments with the medical community. They offer important and timely information on prevention, early diagnosis, healthy lifestyles, clinics and referrals through brochures, presentations and the media. Staff and trained volunteers are available for speeches and presentations.
