Clinic Remodel Announcement

Dear Davis Street clinic patients,

We are excited to announce that we will be expanding our clinic’s size to 5,000 square feet very soon!  Because of this, the clinic will be closed for approximately 6 weeks to expedite the remodel.  We anticipate this will begin May 1, or soon after.  We understand that Davis Street bridges the gap for uninsured patients and highly value you as our patient.  In the interim, should you need care, please see attached lists of free/low cost clinics. Be sure to call the clinics for info/hours/scheduling etc. We want to ensure you have access to care when you need it.

We are excited to see how the remodeled clinic will serve you in the future, and will post updates to our website and in our Family Resource Center.  We will see you when our clinic reopens!

In the interim, here are other clinics we can refer you to:  East Bay Free Clinics  Alameda County Low Cost Dental Options

Sincerely,

Davis Street RotaCare, Primary Care, Physical Therapy and Dental Clinic Staff

We can’t wait to see you there!

Announcing Our 2013 Spring Gala

 

Dear Friends,

This year’s  gala theme is Beside the Seaside.  When we ask our clients to share what brought them through our doors, we often hear, “I felt like I was sinking.” Sinking slowly or sinking rather quickly under the weight of a financial burdens, childcare expenses, a job or benefits loss, a sudden illness or chronic health issue, a passing of a family member, a relationship crisis, an empty kitchen cupboard and children at the table—a few examples our clients fill in the blank with.

We can all relate to the feeling of sinking. We can also probably recount a moment we discovered relief in our troubles. I like to best describe Davis Street as a “safety net”. When a neighbor is sinking, we are there to catch them before they land at the bottom floor of poverty, a place with the slimmest chance of coming up for air. Davis Street can help keep local individuals and families afloat in stormy weather and to provide tools that can nudge and navigate their ship onto better journeys.

Due to donor support, Davis Street’s Opera Night benefit has raised over $780,000 for our Rotacare clinics and family support services. Private support makes Davis Street’s net sturdier and better equipped to serve. Opera Night is our most important charity event, but it is also a celebration of your commitment to provide relief to those in need. On May 13, 2013, we will raise critical funds and honor your contributions over an intimate evening of delightful company, wine, epicurean cuisine, entertainment surprises, and exquisite jazz performances.

Sponsorship levels range from $1,000 – $25,000. Individuals tickets to this event are $300. Thank you so much for your interest!  Please contact Michelle Musgrove at 510.347.4620 Ext. 104 or mmusgrove@davisstreet.org with any inquiries.

Sincerely,

Rose
