Clinic Chronicle Monthly Newsletter

∙ December 2023 ∙

As we close another year and holiday season, I can't begin to express my appreciation to you for how you have made a difference to those in our community this year. All of what we achieved this past year is attributed to your dedication to our commitment to making healthcare accessible. Reflecting on this shows how much power a dedicated group has to make real-world differences in the lives of their fellow neighbors.

In 2024, we plan to continue to grow in ways our community needs us most by planning to continue engaging in collaborative relationships, facing the layered challenges our patients encounter with access to care, and navigating the connections between health outcomes and socioeconomic factors. Your support of our mission makes these changes possible in our community, and I thank you!

In case you missed it, take a look at our 2022-2023 Annual Report to see what you made possible this year. I look forward to what 2024 holds for Good Neighbor Health Clinic and wish you a peaceful holiday season with a bright new year ahead!

With unwavering gratitude, I wish you a memorable holiday season and a bright new year!

It's The Season of Giving!

As the temperature continues to drop and the snow begins to come in its inevitable waves, the winter season has us all reflecting on what we can give to others who may need it. Over the past few weeks, Good Neighbor Health Clinic has received donations of medical supplies from Dartmouth Health, and even a donation of an EKG machine!

"My father was a cardiologist who was the type of doctor that would spend a full hour with his patients giving an examination 'tip to tail'. Even until the end, he was calling to follow up with his patients. He'd be happy knowing this machine will be put to good use for patients in need." Thank you so much for sharing this story and for your generous donation, Lisa!

Standard Company Tattoo, Lalo's Taqueria, and Lucky's Coffee Garage, are joining forces to raise money for Good Neighbor Health Clinic and TLC Family Resource Center in Lebanon! Through $20 donations, individuals are entered into a raffle for a gift basket valued at over $700! The winner will be chosen on Friday, December 22nd!

To enter, donate $20 to Good Neighbor Health Clinic, TLC Family Resource Center, or both, and send a screenshot of your confirmation to @standardcompanytattoo on Instagram!
