Welcome
The Hiram Young
Health & Heritage Center is a
project being spearheaded by the Lions Hiram Young CSC Board of Directors.
This distinctive board is
comprised of members from Lions organizations, and community members and leaders
from throughout the Metro Kansas City area.
The
Board of Directors
took advantage of an opportunity to obtain the Young School building located
at 501 N. Dodgion Street, from
the Independence Missouri School District and in so doing will
serve greater numbers by
giving people in the region easy access to health screenings and basic
health care services. Our main emphasis will be to serve children and the
noninsured.
We
will also preserve the
historical Young School building and honor the work of Hiram Young.
This will ensure a restoration of a treasured Independence MO African American historic site; the board chose the name "Hiram Young Health & Heritage Center" as the name
for the site.
The
Lions Hiram Young Community Service Center is a not-for-profit
corporation, chartered in the State of Missouri and exempt from federal
income tax under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
