CAPTION: Doctor Mark Vint, Medical Director Doctor Ron Jankowski, Jill Orbuch and David Orbuch with United Health Group, and Physician's Assistant Amy Vint celebrate at the Fremont Clinic gala at Target Field.

                More than 200 people gathered at the Legends Club at Target Field on May 10 for the 40th Anniversary Gala for Fremont Community Clinics. The event featured music, food and a silent auction, and raised tens of thousands of dollars for the clinic. The money helps Fremont provide medical services to those who do not have health insurance.

    Also at the gala, Executive Director Steve Knutson announced that the Fremont organization name is being changed to Neighborhood HealthSource. The three clinic names (Fremont Clinic, Central Clinic and Sheridan Clinic) will remain the same and the focus will continue to be on the vital services each provides to its surrounding neighborhoods.

    For 40 years Fremont has provided affordable and accessible health care to all. Knutson says that mission won't change, "We will continue to ensure that our patients have access to high quality health services-regardless of their financial situation." Fremont has tens of thousands of patient visits a year, and about 40 percent of patients do not have health insurance. That equates to more than $2 million worth of free care to individuals in need every year. Find info at www.fremonthealth.org.
