About Hope Within Ministries

About

Donita and Brian Sturgis co-founded Hope Within Ministries in 2002. Together, they saw the dire need for access to charitable health care services in the region and through their joint efforts, Hope Within Community Health Center opened in 2006. In 2014 they ushered in Hope Within Counseling Services. Through the years they have both been involved in numerous capacities within the ministry. Donita and Brian remain in the area and together they share three children and one grandchild.
