Together, we're not just providing assistance, we're creating momentum that powers lasting hope in our community.
We’re pleased to invite you to our upcoming Annual Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating that momentum and raising essential funds for the newly named John Sparks Patient Assistance Fund—honoring our recently retired Executive Director, who served PHC with compassion and vision for over 28 years.
What is the John Sparks Patient Assistance Fund?
As part of our mission to provide access to quality healthcare, we realize there are various factors that create barriers to that access. The John Sparks Patient Assistance Fund allows us to further assist our patients by helping cover:
- Travel costs to appointments
- Medical supplies like diabetes kits and blood pressure monitors
- Patient visit fees, especially for those who are unhoused or unemployed
- Unexpected barriers that disrupt care
This fund provides critical flexibility, boosting compliance and improving health outcomes.
We hope this fund will one day help patients access dental and eye care, and other specialty services beyond our current partnership base.
This is just the beginning—and we invite you to be a part of it.
There are several ways you can get involved!
