ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visory Health, a women-led, patient-first health tech prescription platform that is transforming the way women, families and caregivers access affordable healthcare through its prescription discount card, is working hands-on with Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) of St. Louis through its Meals from the Heart program, to promote healthy lifestyles to children and families. Visory Health began its partnership with RMHC earlier this year as part of its dedication to connecting with communities that are impacted by the inaccessibility and unaffordability of healthcare.
RMHC of St. Louis provides a home-away-from-home to families of seriously ill or injured children and supports organizations that serve the needs of children. The charity started its Family Dinner Program, now Meals from the Heart, over 20 years ago, to relieve the stress and worry of where the next meal will come for the ill children and their families. Lending a helping hand, Visory Health planned and cooked the volunteer-led meal nourishing the families staying there.
“RMHC helps millions of children and their families around the world each year during some of their most difficult times. Having served on the local RMHC Board of Directors for nine years, I am excited about Visory Health's active involvement with the organization," said Karen Baer, CFO of Visory Health. "As we advance our mission of creating healthier communities, it's crucial that no family has to worry about where their next meal is coming from."
"We hosted a taco night for the families returning from a long day at the hospital, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience," said Abbey Cayanan, Visory Health’s Director of Marketing. "We connected one-on-one with these families, and heard their stories. It was a perfect example of how we prioritize community health and our values. We are excited to extend this initiative and collaborate with other Ronald McDonald House Charities chapters across the nation."
