The Katie Blessing Foundation Board.

The Katie Blessing Foundation assists and empowers communities with persistent health disparities through family centered care and provides a compass towards self-sufficiency and stability.
We positively impact the overall health and wellness of those who have experienced barriers to quality health care and provide an advantage in overcoming substandard environmental circumstances.
