honoring the past & looking to the future
|
2021 is a special year! August 12th marked 25 years of the Albrecht Free Clinic caring for our community. So much has happened in 25 years, and although we are excited to celebrate this milestone with you, we've delayed the festivities to get through (we hope!!!) the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, selfishly, we have additional time to plan an incredible celebration in the new year; a new year, which will mark the beginning of the second quarter century of the Albrecht Free Clinic!
Because of your generosity, we have reached this remarkable milestone. We've seen a lot in the past 25 years - from new locations and expanded services to offering virtual care in response the worldwide pandemic - possible only because of the steadfast support of our donors and volunteers. Thank you for fueling our work with your commitment to creating a vibrant, equitable, and inclusive healthcare community where every individual we serve has the opportunity to thrive. The past two years have been filled with hardship for so many, and our organization is no different. However, it did give us additional time to pause and reflect upon what is most important - meeting the growing health care needs of our community in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible. By focusing our attention and efforts on sustainability and our vision for growth, we launched Albrecht CARES, a successful business campaign that equips us with consistent cash flow during down economic times. In addition, and more importantly, it allows us to stabilize services for those in need and empower the business community to have a more significant impact through their giving. |
We also focused on streamlining and optimizing our dental and medical operations. As demand for our services continues to grow, we developed plans to utilize our building to its maximum capacity. This includes expanding medical and dental supply storage space, adding additional workspaces, and equipping our dental hygiene room to also be used as a dental operatory. Also included are significant upgrades to technology that are long overdue.
As we grow and look to the future, we will never forget our roots. Twenty five years ago, Dr. James E. Albrecht gave this community and incredible gift. Together, let us honor his legacy and continue providing quality, compassionate care to those who need it most. Cheers to today! Cheers to 25 years! Cheers to serving the health care needs of the most vulnerable members of the Washington County community for many years to come! With gratitude, Ruth E. Henkle Executive Director |
