NEMSB has a holiday season tradition of raising funds for People's Community Clinic.
|
In November, we issue a fundraising challenge to friends and associates of our firm, offering to match their contributions through the end of the year. We are very pleased that our firm’s matching-funds pledge of $5,000 has resulted in raising over $10,000 annually for PCC. Nearly 60% of PCC’s annual $5 million budget must be raised from private sources. We invite you to join us in supporting People's Community Clinic.

About People's Community Clinic
People's Community Clinic is a critical provider of affordable health care to 11,000 of our uninsured and working poor neighbors in Austin. The tremendous need in our community is reflected by the more than 60,000 visits that PCC provides each year, on a sliding-scale basis. Many others must be turned away for lack of resources. 1 in 4 Central Texans have no health insurance.
By promoting wellness and helping disadvantaged Austinites avert medical crises, PCC reduces emergency room and hospital visits, thus helping to contain healthcare costs for the entire community. Since 1970, the clinic has provided high-quality care in a setting where all patients are respected. This includes comprehensive health and wellness services for children, teens, adults, and seniors.
