Why Donate

Mental health support doesn’t end at a referral. Many individuals miss appointments or disengage from care due to barriers like transportation challenges, system complexity, or lack of support. Your donation helps Open Wellness Network provide navigation, follow-through support, and care coordination that strengthens access and improves outcomes for individuals and providers across Iowa.
