Dear Mayor Hunter,
It was wonderful to meet you earlier this week at the VOA open house. True to your reputation, you listened — and
that means a great deal to us.
Attached is a brief letter from Coffee with Survivors outlining a gap in care we believe deserves your attention: the
Flathead Valley has no TBI rehabilitation services, and we are the only free, weekly resource of its kind for
survivors and their families in this region.
We would love the opportunity to sit down with you and share more about what we are seeing on the ground. Please
don't hesitate to reach out at any time.
With gratitude,
Frances “Frankie” Murphy-Voelker
