Our final numbers for the Greater Delaware Partnership for Hope IRT, (Healthcare Blitz) shows just how amazing it was to have this
available to our community.

Just shy of $1.35 million dollars worth of fair market services were provided to well over 3,000 patients during the event that was held
August 1-August 9th.
For many this is the first time they had received care in many years.
More than 2000 pairs of glasses were ordered (including readers) which was more than any other IRT (Innovative Readiness Training) mission this year.

Many, many thanks to all who were involved in bringing this to our community and to all of you who worked, whether by mission or as a volunteer, we appreciate all of you.

It really does take a village.
Thank you.
