Oklahoma City, OK – Fundación Manos Juntas is pleased to announce it has received a $20,000 grant from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation and its Access to Health Care iFund grant program. The grant will be used to assist in funding the Diabetes and Hypertension Management Program, which will allow Fundación Manos Juntas to increase its level of service to the population it serves.

“We are deeply grateful for this generous support from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation,” says Jackson Higginbottom, MPH, President of Fundación Manos Juntas. “This grant will significantly enhance our Diabetes and Hypertension Management Program, enabling us to better serve our community's healthcare needs. It's a major step towards improving the health and well-being of thousands of individuals who rely on us.”

Our mission at Manos Juntas is to provide free medical care & health education to those in need. Our clinic provides care to all, but a large proportion of our patients identify as Hispanic or Latine.

Fundación Manos Juntas, operating since 1995, has been dedicated to providing free healthcare services. The organization's recent initiative in enhancing our diabetes and hypertension management program reflects its commitment to addressing chronic health issues prevalent in the community.

Founded in 1969, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that works with donors to create charitable funds that benefit our community both now and in the future.
