People’s Health Clinic will participate in a Wellness Party on Saturday February 4th – offering health screenings and a display of our services for the uninsured.

In addition to serving as the student body president, Chang represents Treasure Mountain Junior High on the Park City Education Foundation Board. Chang is also the President of the Youth Board for the People’s Health Clinic. She is being honored for her extensive work to build bridges among cultures and communities, which she outlined in a personal essay.
In regard to her passion for the Clinic, Chang notes “The People’s Health Clinic offers health care to everyone in Summit County and Wasatch County who do not have access to health insurance. I think the People’s Health Clinic has built bridges among the diverse cultures and communities in the Park City area. It’s been an inspiration to me.”
The People’s Health Clinic will use the software to further ensure accurate and excellent care thanks to the alerts and reminders the software provides during each patient contact. The increased ability to gather and submit summary information on patients will make it easier for PHC to apply for and receive additional grant funding in future seasons as well.
“ManagementPlus is not only contributing its software, but is working with us to tailor the software to meet our specific needs,” Worel said. “We could not be more thrilled to receive this gift, particularly as our clinic is highly reliant on grant funding.”
Dr. John Hanrahan, PHC founder and one of the two staff doctors said, “We are seeing more and more people each year who’ve lost their health insurance or are unable to get insurance due to being seasonal or temporary workers or working multiple part-time jobs. The complexity of care is also increasing.

By the end of this week. our staff and volunteers will have had 8,400 visits with patients, many of whom would otherwise not have seen a doctor. This represents a 23% increase over last year, very similar to our growth rates over the past 5 years. As we say each year, we’re glad more and more people are finding us.
Medical partnerships have increased, like the Clinic’s inclusion in Intermountain Health Care’s voucher program providing affordable diagnostic testing to low-income patients.
Expanded vision services have become a reality –

Share your talents with others and get extreme satisfaction. The People’s Health Clinic operates because of its volunteers. The low cost of treating patients, keeping the clinic open and offering care to those in our community is possible only because of the people who step forward and offer their services.
There is always a need for medical providers from physician assistants to specialists. Primary care fills a great need. Interpreters are always being sought out. If you are a specialist and can’t make it to the clinic, making your office available to Clinic patients would be wonderful.

Starting September 28, EyeCare4Kids, a Salt Lake nonprofit clinic, will come to Park City once a month to offer lowcost vision exams and glasses to local residents. For as long as we’ve had patients wondering, “Can you help me get glasses?”, we’ve been waiting for this day to come!
“We are thrilled to enter into this new partnership with EyeCare4Kids,” said Nann Worel, Executive Director of the People’s Health Clinic. “Our organizations share similar missions and the additional resources that EyeCare4Kids will bring to the vision services already available at the People’s Health Clinic will be invaluable to our patients.”

Anyone driving by Grappa on July 17th around noontime caught a glimpse of 110 local ladies lunching on the patios in the sunshine, all in hats from the simple to the outrageous. Thanks to all the friends who came to dine and support the work of PHC.
The Food and Wine Classic came to PC on a gorgeous July weekend. The Grand Tasting and the Main Street Stroll both hit new heights in attendance. We’re so grateful for the portion of those proceeds that will be coming to the Clinic. And the Gourmet Travel Club’s Savoury Sundowners seminar for PHC was oversold and so much fun – if you missed it, look for something enticing next year.
WE WON SECOND PRIZE IN OUR CATEGORY IN THE PC FOURTH OF JULY PARADE. SO PROUD! Watch a video here! Now we’re off to prance in the Wasatch and Summit County parades in the next few weeks – still looking for volunteers! Email Patti.

People’s Health Clinic began on a wing and a prayer –funding from the Eccles Foundation bought a medical van and off they went – seeing patients around the two counties a couple nights a week.
And now look at the Clinic you’ve all helped build – housed permanently in a great facility and seeing over 7,000 patient visits last year. The Clinic has grown up, and there are myriad details that are important to attend to. Procedures and policies need to further the Clinic’s mission and protect patients, volunteers and staff, while keeping up with current federal and state laws.
Nann Worel, Executive Director, knew last summer that the Clinic’s Employee Handbook needed an update. At the same time, Casey Bailey, Vice-President of The Houston Group, a human resources consulting company, was on her way towards People’s Health.
