Congratulations to CHA’s Employee of the Quarter, Mary Anne Galza! Mary Anne was selected because she demonstrates the value of Compassion each and every day. Compassion is defined as “suffer with." Those of you who have had the privilege of working with Mary Anne know that she is the purest definition of Compassion. She goes above and beyond to listen and take care of CHA patients.
She is pictured here with Joe Mazzucotelli, interim CEO, and her supervisor Julie Gwin.

Partnership with Flint Street Farm
|
Reno's Flint Street Farm donates locally grown produce to Community Health Alliance’s Prescription Food Pantry. The volunteer-led organization frequently donates local beet greens and other salad greens, carrots, tomatoes, kale, and more! This produce helps introduce patients to fruits and vegetables they might not be familiar with and increases the sense of community for food pantry users.
The farm hosted children enrolled in our Healthy Living Program for a farm tour where they showed participants around their property demonstrating how it really is possible to grow food anywhere! The kids were able to harvest carrots, get a lesson on beekeeping and honey harvesting, plant propagation, and more.

Community Health Alliance is a federally qualified health center proving comprehensive health services to all. The Prescription Food Pantry is a program at CHA that provides free healthy food to patients who are food insecure. The aim of the pantry is to improve food security, provide nutritious foods needed to have a healthy diet and prevent or aid in the treatment of chronic disease.
The pantry is busy as can be! We are continually growing and serving larger numbers of patients. To accommodate the growth and continue to provide this essential resource we are in need of volunteers! We are open Monday-Friday 7am-6pm and are looking for compassionate, motivated students who want to get some experience or want to help the community by volunteering their time.
If you are interested in volunteering please contact Sierra Kelly at
sierrak@chanevada.org or call 775-336-3079.
