Talk about making an impact!

OVHC: A Lifeline for the Community

This year has been remarkable for the OVHC, as the clinic has provided over $1 million in free care to residents in need. With a mission to serve the medically uninsured and underinsured folks in the Ohio Valley, OVHC offers a range of essential services, including medication assistance, laboratory services, food supplements, and case management. That’s right—this clinic is a real beacon of hope for many in the community.

Honoring the Stars of the Night

Every gala has its shining stars, and this year is no different! The night will honor some incredible individuals who have made significant contributions to the clinic. The Medical Honoree title goes to Mary Meyers, who has been a dedicated volunteer since completing her nurse practitioner program in 2020. Mary focuses on providing care to underserved populations, proving that her heart is as big as her ambition.

Then there’s Susan Tarr, who is recognized as the Volunteer of the Year. Through her role at A&B Sunset Pharmacy, she has been an advocate for patients facing medication issues. Not only that, but her involvement in helping local homeless shelters really shows her commitment to uplifting the community.

The Community Partner of the Year honor will be awarded to Wilma Ching, representing the generous Ching Family Trust. This family’s contribution of $65,000 to the OVHC has been instrumental in supporting programs like colorectal cancer screening, showcasing just how vital community partnerships are in providing care.

Executive Director Speaks on Community Support

Executive Director Ann Quillen has highlighted how important community support is for the OVHC’s continued operations and its mission to serve those in need. The gala serves as an opportunity for the community to come together, celebrate achievements, and recognize the hard work of those making a real difference.

An Evening to Remember

Guests at this year’s gala can look forward to a fabulous program that will spotlight the life-saving efforts of the clinic while honoring the remarkable contributions of this year’s honorees. It’s all about sharing stories that resonate with everyone and showcase the positive impact the OVHC has had on so many lives.

The 19th annual gala promises an evening filled with laughter, inspiration, and purpose, reminding everyone of the true spirit of giving and community. So mark your calendars, secure those tickets, and get ready for a night that’s all about hope, health, and healing!
