Philanthropy is driven by the power of collective action to create a lasting change in health care. Golden Valley Health Centers respond to critical medical needs in our communities and invites you to join us in doing so. Donations, charitable contributions, and gifts help improve health services and enhance the quality of life of people in your family, your neighborhood, and your community.
While visiting with a school counselor, a parent shared the following story:
“I have six children and I really love Golden Valley’s Dental health center. A few days ago the dentist saw all of my children, and three of them had no cavities but three of them needed fillings. One of my sons was referred to another organization for follow up care because his needs are considered oral surgery and the health center here isn’t able to provide the service. During the visit I also saw the dentist and he fixed my tooth, I was scared they were going to have to pull it, but the dentist worked hard to keep it for me. A few years ago I lost a tooth and I was really scared I was going to have two spaces in my mouth, but lucky for me he saved the tooth! I can’t believe how lucky my family is to be patients at Golden Valley where we are able to get dental care we can afford. This makes it so much better for my family, we already have enough struggles with the issues that we have. My husband recently came back from being deployed in the military with severe PTSD, and my children and I have struggled on and off with medical and mental health issues. I am not sure what our family would do without Golden Valley, we can never thank the doctors, dentist and nurses enough for all they have given our family.”
We shared this with Cesar Clarin, DDS, who summed up the feelings of our providers best, “I feel touched with such comments. As I drive around the neighborhood, I see tremendous work ahead of us. People want to get back on their feet and for them, it may start with a great smile and be able to eat again with no pain. I love where I work and I love what I do because it makes a real impact in people’s lives.”
