Casino Night Fund Raiser to Help York County's Free Medical Clinics

Be sure to put February 20th down for the York County Alliance  Fundraiser For Free Medical Clinics to be held at Laurel Creek.

The Resource Centers (or the Pediatric Free Clinics) have been open for  five years in Rock Hill, Fort Mill, York, and Clover.  They are staffed by Drs. Start and Bonham and Hsu.  Their goal is to provide  pediatric medical care to children who do not have any health insurance.  Patients are often children of parents who are working (sometimes several jobs) and make too much for Medicaid, but are unable to pay for  a visit to a physician and the medications prescribed without some help.

The Centers are run by the Early Learning Partnership of York County and managed by Rock Hill Pediatrics. They partner with the four school systems of York County, the International Center of York County, ParentSmart, Catawba Mental Health for family counseling, many local dentists and medical subspecialty groups,

Through these partnerships, nearly 5000 children in the York County area have been provided  medical care and  issues that might affect a child's physical or mental health and school success. 

Funds raised on Casino Night (FEBRUARY 20 7-11 P.M.!!!) will be used to help patients cover costs of medications, nebulizers, radiologic studies, labs, and referral visits when necessary.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $30/ticket ($25 for Alliance members) by mailing your check to:

Rhea Hsu
4284 Rambling Rose Ln.
Rock  Hill, SC  29732

Tickets will be $35 at the door.
