Care begins with you! Donate this at bit.ly/carebeginswithyou
This holiday season, we’re thinking of one moment that reminds us why Gardner Health Services must continue to stand strong for our community. A 9-year-old child came to our new Alum Rock Health Center frightened—facing the possibility of losing teeth or part of their jaw. Thanks to our new CBCT machine, a special 3D scanner, and strong county partnerships, we acted immediately. The scan revealed a serious issue.
Because of the new state-of-the-art equipment at the Alum Rock Health Center and the collaboration of so many caring people, this child is on the path of treatment and we anticipate a positive resolution. But now, as we face deep uncertainty—threats to Medi-Cal, challenges to the Affordable Care Act, and rising gaps in coverage—we worry for the next patient who walks through our doors.
We won’t turn anyone away—but we can’t do it alone. Care begins with you. Every donation strengthens the village that holds us all together. Donate today at bit.ly/carebeginswithyou
