Vision

The Rural Parish Clinic of the Archdiocese of St. Louis extends the mercy of Jesus Christ to those who come to us in need by providing the highest quality, compassionate care rooted in the Roman Catholic Church.

Goals

1. 1.The demand for our dental services is high. We have an average wait time of 6 months for a new patient’s initial visit. Our goal is to increase number of days served each month and expand to reach all rural communities within the St. Louis Archdiocese, in order to reduce wait times and enable us to impact even more individuals.
2. 2.We have created a resource team that connects patients with local charities and resources to address various areas of need. We provide toiletries and household items, as well as food, gas, and other essentials when necessary. Our goal is to expand the number of people on this team and cover more locations in order to better serve social and economical aspects a patient may be struggling with.
3. 3.Six rural Missouri counties don’t have a single primary care provider with 71 counties entirely without subspecialty care. We don’t have the resources to provide all medical services a patient needs, which is why our goal is to form strategic partnerships to compliment the services we provide. Eye care, mammograms, and behavioral health are priority partnerships, with others being explored.
