Opportunities to Partner before December 31, 2011

There are several opportunities to partner with the health center financially between now and the end of the calendar year.

Plumbing related to the second dental exam room has been completed and we anticipate the dental chair being operational within the next 30 days. The handicap access has been installed at the rear entrance to the health center. Once the NYC Department of Buildings completes its on-site inspection of the installation we will have full handicap accessibility.

Final Health Center Construction Cost – Flooring for Hallways and Handicap Entrance $4,300

With all of the construction completed we are now ready to have the hallway floors redone. A new flooring product that is poured will be utilized to insure both long-term durability and sanitary standards are maintained. The cost to complete the flooring throughout the health center reception area and all hallways to the back handicap entrance is $8,600. We have a commitment to cover half of this amount if we are able to secure the remaining $4,300.

The plan is to have the floors finished when we are closed after the last drop in clinic date for 2011, Tuesday, December 20. This timeframe will allow for the flooring to cure and then the front desk area to be reset before we reopen on Tuesday, January 3.

Final Payment for Article 28 Consultant - $5,000

In 2010 we completed and paid for the official feasibility study. This year we have completed seventy-five percent of our Article 28 application process and anticipate have all of the materials needed for submission completed by calendar year end. The legal fees and architect fees related to filing the application have been offered pro-bono.

Making this payment before December 31 will allow us to focus next year on raising funds for the NYS filing fees and the required capital reserve – estimated at $125,000. 

Regular monthly support to provide patient visits - $10, $25, $50, $100

It cost approximately $35 to provide each patient visit. We have provided services for nearly 1,250 visits to the health center already this year. Some of us are able to give a gift each month. Your faithful giving is needed to insure that supplies and equipment are in place to provide excellent service to the individuals who depend on us for their only access to health services.
