Our hearts are warm and bright even if the Wisconsin winter weather is not. We so have much to be grateful for (download 2014ByTheNumbers). Since our doors opened on November 7, 2012, we have enrolled over 1,000 patients into care at OAFC. In 2014, with 17 providers and 150+ clinic volunteers, we have completed 1,770 patient visits that included doctor appointments, labs, dispensing medications, and specialty services such as ultrasound testing, ECHO testing, orthopedic and cardiology visits. The volunteers have donated over 6,500 hours that valued over $185,000. Additionally, since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA/ObamaCare), OAFC volunteers have helped transition close to 300 patients onto affordable health insurance programs. Whether for a short time or for long term care, OAFC has been a vital access point in the community for vulnerable populations by connecting those in need with those who can help. We are grateful for the high caliber talent, service partners, and supporting donations to make it all possible.
Starting April 1, 2015 our new address will be 205 East Commerce Court, Elkhorn, WI, 53121. In addition to the medical and advocacy services, OAFC has seen the critical need to provide dental, vision, and mental health care for our target population. Thanks to many hands hard at work, OAFC will be moving to a new location to accommodate this expansion of services. To make sure that OAFC can reach more uninsured, low income and under-served residents of Walworth County with more care, a generous angel donor has offered a matching grant dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 for donations received by April 30, 2015. We are half way there, can we count on you?
Donations made by mail may be addressed to: Open Arms Free Clinic, PO Box 678, Elkhorn, WI 53121.
Thank you in advance for believing in our mission. We appreciate you! Many helping hands are making this transition possible and many more are needed. Here's how you can help:
- Make a matching gift before April 30th!
- Supplies needed: Boxes & packing tape; 4 computers; 5 Avaya Partner phones; waiting room chairs
- And if nothing else, do your online shopping with AmazonSmile.com and .05% of your purchase goes to OAFC.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
