Network member spotlight: Dakota Child and Family Clinic

It's all about relationships!

Metro Health Equity Network member organization Dakota Child and Family Clinic turned 10 years old last year. After facing closure in 2011, the community around the clinic organized, formed a board, and applied for nonprofit status. Community members even personally painted and improved the clinic building, living out their mission: Providing healthcare for people, not for profit.

Kelly Kenley, Executive Director, shares the the clinic's "whole person, whole picture" focus: "We built more trust, and it's a privilege to have earned that. Now that we have, there is so much to do. It can be overwhelming at times. But it's all about relationships."

• Learn more about the Dakota Child and Family Clinic by joining us at the Metro Regional Health Equity Network meeting on January 24 for this region's member spotlight!
