MODO FOR THE PEOPLE

What they do

IN 2024, MODO for THE PEOPLE EXPANDED ITS COMMITMENT to SERVING MAUIS UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, DEEPENING OUR FOCUS ON LOCAL RESIDENTS FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP and LIMITED ACCESS to HEALTHCARE. THIS YEAR, WE PROVIDED ESSENTIAL MEDICAL CARE to 400 PATIENTS, ENSURING THAT NO ONE WAS TURNED AWAYWHETHER THEY SOUGHT HELP IN OUR CLINIC, REQUIRED SUPPORT THROUGH OUR STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM, or WERE UNABLE to AFFORD A HOUSE CALL. OUR 2024 EFFORTS SHIFTED TOWARD STABILIZING LONG-TERM COMMUNITY HEALTH FOLLOWING THE ONGOING IMPACTS of THE LAHAINA WILDFIRE. WE CONTINUED to SERVE FIRE SURVIVORS, WHILE ALSO IDENTIFYING and ADDRESSING EMERGING NEEDS AMONG LOCAL FAMILIES, SENIORS, and INDIVIDUALS WHO LACK INSURANCE or THE ABILITY to PAY for CARE. MENTAL HEALTH BECAME A CENTRAL PILLAR of THIS YEARS WORK, WITH A GROWING EMPHASIS ON TRAUMA RECOVERY. OUR TEAM HAS BEEN ACTIVELY SUPPORTING LAHAINA RESIDENTS EXPERIENCING POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS, and WE ARE PREPARING to INTRODUCE STELLATE GANGLION BLOCKS (SGBS)
