Employees from the hospital in Abilene are helping a local faith-based and wellness organization focused on helping children and families build emotional resilience.

According to the hospital, employees of Memorial Health System participated in another “Jeans Day” fundraiser throughout the month of July. Employees make a donation, of at least $2, and are allowed to wear blue jeans at work.

A total donation of $614 was presented to Faith Rocks Ministry Equine Programming. The program welcomes children and families into a safe environment where they will explore mindfulness-based practices, supported by the grounding presence of horses.
