financially support the WGMC because …
God has blessed our family and we want to “pay it forward.”
We have been so fortunate to have steady jobs that provide health
insurance. We believe it is vital for everyone to receive quality
medical care in a timely manner. The WGMC provides this type of
care for families in our community.
The
effort is important to our community because …
Many families are unable to afford the high cost of health
insurance and go without basic medical care for themselves in order
to pay the rent and buy food to put on the table. We are all part of
this community and we need to step up to the plate to help the Clinic
provide needed medical services. We need to help families who have
fallen on hard times receive basic medical care. We need to
support the great work the dedicated volunteer staff of the WGMC
provides every day. Because life is so unpredictable, any one of us
could end up in need and it is wonderful to know that the Clinic will
be here as long as our community continues to support this program.
We
encourage people to support the Clinic because …
You do not have to be a millionaire to provide support to the
WGMC. Just give from the heart. Your gift will benefit our
community family in huge ways. You will get a great night’s sleep
knowing that you have helped make it possible for someone to receive
medical care who would have gone without it because of
circumstances beyond their control. You may even be saving a life!

Dear Friends,
Thanks to the tremendous support we received from the hospitals in
our two-county area, from hundreds of volunteers and from a very
generous community, we are able to provide quality care and hope to
more than 1,200 people annually. The Clinic does this by engaging,
educating and empowering patients to be proactive in maintaining
their own health.
You may be aware that Congress is working on healthcare reform
legislation. Even if a bill is approved, we are told that it could be up
to four years before the new legislation would be implemented. As a
result, people will continue to depend upon the Clinic to provide the
care that they desperately need.
Last year, the Clinic implemented its first-ever Annual Appeal. We are
pleased and grateful for the wonderful support we received. Now we
are asking for your help again. We appreciate gifts in any amount. No
donation is too small. Those contributors who are able to offer gifts
of $1,000+ per year will be acknowledged as Health Care Champions
in our yearly report and at Clinic events. Please accept our invitation
to help us provide the “gift of health” those who have no options for
healthcare.

Why I volunteer at Will-Grundy Medical Clinic
One of the main reasons I became a physician was to help others.
Volunteering at the Clinic allows me to use my education to help those
who often do not have access to medical care. Also, it is a pleasure
to spend time with the caring and compassionate staff of the Clinic.
Their talent and hard work allow us physicians to give back something
for all that we have been given.
Joseph Prieboy, D.O.
