Mobile Unit Ribbon Cutting Event

We welcome the community to the Ribbon Cutting event for our new mobile unit. The event is set for Wednesday, June 11th at 11am at our Henderson clinic. Guests may tour the unit and learn more about the purpose of the project.

Thanks to a major investment from the CDC, Matthew 25 has added a mobile unit that will bring vital services directly to high-risk populations, improving accessibility and convenience. This two-exam room mobile unit and the rest of the grant Matthew 25 received from the CDC are set to increase STI testing and vaccinations, enhance PrEP accessibility, expand insurance enrollment, and strengthen community partnerships.

For more information on the mobile unit and the rest of the CDC grant, please read the full story here.

Bill Kaelin Memorial Fund

In loving memory of our beloved nurse practitioner, we are honored to announce the creation of the Bill Kaelin Memorial Fund.

This fund will carry on Bill’s compassionate legacy by helping patients with urgent needs that fall outside our traditional funding—like burial expenses, medication, pet care, and more. Bill dedicated his life to serving others, and through this fund, his impact will live on.

National HIV Testing Day

Do YOU know your HIV status?

The CDC recommends everyone between the ages of 13-64 to be tested at least once in their life for HIV. More frequent testing is encouraged based on lifestyle choices. You can find us on June 27 at multiple Walgreens locations from 10am-7pm with goodies in hand while supplies last. You can save the date by accessing our calendar here.

Matthew 25 Named #3 Best Places to Work in Kentucky Small-Size Business Category

One hundred companies were recognized in the 21st annual awards hosted by the Kentucky Chamber and the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management. The awards celebrate Kentucky businesses that are committed to fostering strong workplace environments. To determine standings, companies were ranked based on a comprehensive survey of Kentucky employees, grouped into small (15–149), medium (150–499), and large (500+) employee categories.

This annual statewide recognition for workplace culture, employee satisfaction, and organizational excellence is more than just an award for us. It’s a testament to our belief that a happy, supported team provides exceptional care. When our staff thrives, they’re empowered to offer the highest quality, most compassionate service to every person who walks through our doors.

This year, we dedicate this honor to Bill Kaelin, NP, our beloved provider whose passion, kindness, and unwavering commitment truly made Matthew 25 the special place it is today. A place where both our team and our patients receive extraordinary care.
