Dear Partners,
I'm thrilled to share that so far this year, you've helped us complete 9,963 clinic medical visits, 1,382 inpatient hospital visits, 1,857 dental visits, and fill 7,700 prescriptions. Together, we are impacting more patients than ever before!
Also, I'm incredibly excited to introduce you to the 5 new residents who will begin their 3-year training at our Chalkville clinic this summer (scroll down to read more).
Thank you for every prayer, hour, and dollar you've given to share the love of Christ through medicine.
We know how much you care for each of our patients, which is why we want to tell you about a special family who needs our help...

A SPECIAL FAMILY NEEDS OUR HELP
|
|
Jamie and her mom Debra have been patients at Christ Health since the early days. Jamie is 29, and has severe cerebral palsy; she has no use of her arms and legs, and is largely non-communicative.
Debra works as hard as she can while also caring for Jamie, but things have been very hard since her husband Ed passed away a few years ago.
This family needs our help because they currently live in substandard housing that does not accommodate Jamie’s extreme disabilities and cannot be fixed up any further.
Jamie and Debra desperately need a safe place to live, and we have an opportunity to help.
Debra’s parents have a home that will ultimately become hers, but they need $30,000 to make improvements to the home so it will meet Jamie’s special needs.
