“Medical Mission at Home is a powerful expression of our commitment to extend our Mission into the community and care for those most in need,” said Don Damron, President, Ascension St. Vincent Kokomo. “In Kokomo, we are bringing together compassionate caregivers, volunteers and community partners to remove barriers and ensure every person has access to the care and dignity they deserve. This work is about more than a single day, it’s about building healthier lives and stronger communities.”

This event is made possible by dedicated volunteers from Ascension St. Vincent Kokomo, including associates, physicians, nurses, pharmacists and chaplains, as well as partner organizations who come together to serve the community. Spanish and Korean interpreters will be available.

Through Medical Mission at Home, Ascension St. Vincent Kokomo continues to meet people where they are, breaking down barriers to care and helping build stronger, healthier communities.
