Edesia raises $30,000

Edesia: A Culinary, Wine & Spirits Adventure raised a record $30,000 for Marillac Clinic at its April 2 event. Ian Kelley, Wine Country Inn General Manager, and Carolee Hawkins, Alpine Bank Regional Marketing Director, presented a check in that amount to Marillac Director Kay Ramachandran at the Clinic’s board meeting on April 26.

“This is the largest amount we’ve ever raised,” points out Kelley. “We are thrilled about the amount of good this can do for patients in our community–and we still have seed money for next year’s Edesia.” Ramachandran offers a rundown on what $30,000 potentially can provide for

Marillac patients:

* One Patient Navigator in Medical to support one care team equals 2700 patients * Total medical care for 35 patients in one year, where a patient averages 3.5 visits a year

* 1500 New Patient exams

* Full sets of dentures for 30 people, including lab costs

* Completing dental treatments for 10 patients in one year.

“We want to thank not only our sponsors, but also our vendors, volunteers and donors who contributed so much to Edesia,” Kelley emphasized. “The generosity of our Grand Valley community is the foundation of our continuing success. As Kay points out, these monies translate into real time patient care.

” He also says this year’s results have sparked great enthusiasm for Edesia 2018. “We’re already making plans,” he admits.
