Grace Hill is comprised of sister agencies, Grace
Hill Neighborhood Health Centers, Inc. (GHNHC)
and Grace Hill Settlement House (GHSH). Each is
controlled by a separate governing body. Grace
Hill Settlement House was founded in 1903 by
the Episcopal Diocese to help immigrant
families "settle into their new neighborhood"
on the near north side of St. Louis. Now it
serves neighborhoods throughout the City of St.
Louis and St. Charles County with its MORE
system.

Grace Hill Neighborhood Health Centers began
in 1906 with a small community health and
pharmaceutical service. Now it operates five
Health Centers and a community health
program in the city.

Today, Grace Hill serves neighborhoods
throughout the St. Louis region with a

This Week's Speaker - Lynsey Hoges & Tiffany Garcia - Clayton Ladue Rotary

The Mission Continues, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, was founded in 2007 after CEO
Eric Greitens returned home from service in
Iraq as a Navy SEAL. Upon his return, Eric visited
with wounded Marines at Bethesda Naval
Hospital in Maryland. Without exception, each
Marine expressed an unwavering desire to
continue serving his country, even if he could
no longer do so in the military. One young
Marine even said this: “I lost my legs – that is
all. I did not lose my desire to serve, or my pride
in being an American.” Inspired, Eric used his
own combat pay and two friends pitched in
their military disability checks to found The
Mission Continues.
