Join us for the Annual Community Champion Luncheon, a cherished tradition since 2004, honoring individuals and organizations that have made a monumental impact on the betterment of our community. This year, we’re proud to celebrate Concordia Lutheran Ministries, whose economic impact stems from its role as a large non-profit healthcare and human services provider, which includes providing jobs for thousands of employees, managing millions in assets, and offering extensive benevolent care. Additionally, it contributes thousands of dollars per year through charitable grants, which are managed by its foundation.
Concordia played a leading role in bringing the Remote Area Medical (RAM) Clinic to Butler County in 2023. That year, the clinic provided free healthcare services to more than 330 individuals, delivering an estimated $183,000 in essential care to our community.
Their commitment continues — Concordia is set to host another RAM Clinic in November 2025, further demonstrating their dedication to expanding access to life-changing healthcare for those in need.
