Mindful Care's Board Chair Tom Tozer said, "It is an honor to be a recipient of a generous grant from The Healing Trust, a foundation that represents kindness, generosity and a recognition that every person has value and deserves the highest quality of life possible."

The Healing Trust President and CEO Kristen Keely-Dinger noted, "We are deeply grateful for the life changing work of our grantee partners. Their commitment to improving the health of the most vulnerable members of our community is worthy of investment and support."
