Clinic Chronicle Monthly Newsletter

∙ November 2023 ∙

This month is a perfect time to be mindful, grateful for the good in our lives, and thoughtful about those in need and how we can help.

I am so very grateful for the community that helps us sustain our work here at Good Neighbor Health Clinic; our patients who can get the care they need - often for the first time, and the volunteers and staff who make it all happen. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of our community and for being a Good Neighbor!

In case you missed it, take a look at our 2022-2023 Annual Report to see what you made possible this year!

With my heartfelt gratitude,

Elizabeth Austin, MHA

Executive Director

#GivingTuesday is Coming on November 28th

Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day encouraging people to do good. Whether making someone smile or helping a neighbor with a simple task, every act of generosity contributes to the good of our communities.

Good Neighbor Health Clinic will be participating in Giving Tuesday this year; please consider donating to support our mission and the essential work we do.
