MATCH addresses a critical need in McDowell County by increasing access to whole-person, coordinated care for our most vulnerable neighbors. Recognizing that access to healthcare alone isn’t enough to ensure that individuals thrive, MATCH offers a uniquely designed model that goes beyond traditional healthcare. Through personalized support and resource navigation, the program connects participants to vital services—such as food, housing, transportation, and more—while providing ongoing support as they work toward their own self-defined goals.
