New Hope Clinic in 2015 - It has been a busy year here at NHC, with many things to be thankful for! Over the last year, New Hope Clinic has

provided over 13,000 free 30-day prescriptions, 2,800 medical visits, and 235 dental visits to nearly 950 patients and

had 115 attendees for diabetic education classes. We are also excited to announce that in 2015 we opened a satellite

clinic co-located with Brunswick Family Assistance Agency in Shallotte to better serve those from the southern end

of Brunswick County with limited transportation. Our dental clinic also began providing restorative and hygiene

appointments, in addition to continuing to serve those in need of extractions.

We have a genuinely supportive community! It takes all sorts of help to ensure those in need have access to

healthcare - 150 volunteers have given their time to support NHC’s operations this year. We also thank all of you

who helped with or attended our various fundraisers and events over the last year as well - Art With Heart, Go Jump

In the Lake, The Sunset Beach Concert Series, Listen Up Brunswick County Concert Series, Mike’s Garage Band

concert, and the many events other organizations hosted to benefit NHC and other worthy organization. Many

thanks to all who volunteered, donated, or simply spread the word about us to their community. We look forward

to continuing to have your support in 2016. Thank you again, and Happy Holidays!

AUCTION ITEMS

Each and every patient receiving care

within the walls of New Hope Clinic is among

a unique population. They are a hardworking

class of citizens who earn too much to

qualify for Medicaid, yet not enough to

purchase private insurance. They have

difficulty physically working yet are not

officially disabled. They are the caretakers

for other family members. They are short-

term or long-term unemployed. They are

homeless or nearly homeless. Every story is

unique….we strive to find a way to help each

of them with some of their life struggles.

By providing basic medical and dental

care, diagnostic services and prescription

drugs to the low income, uninsured residents

of Brunswick County, with your help, we are

enhancing the quality of lives of those who

fall between the cracks of our healthcare

system.

Did you know that in addition to the

personal satisfaction of contributing to your

community, your gifts have real financial

benefits to you? New Hope Clinic is a

qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization

and donations are tax-deductible to the full

extent of the law. Did you know there are

many different ways to give? From legacy

bequests to lifetime donations and gifts in

memoriam to honor others; no matter how

you choose to contribute, your gifts will

become dental procedures and eye exams

and medications and a chance for a better

way of life for fellow citizens.

For more information on ways to help, call

(910) 845-5333 to speak with Sheila Roberts,

Executive Director.

Thank you for being a part of the New Hope

Clinic story. Happy Holidays!
