It's a Match!
Neighborhood Healthcare continues its campaign to raise funding for a Poway location and they're off to a strong start in 2012. Already, The Barney and Barney Foundation has agreed to match $12,500 in donations made for the location. So far, the nonprofit, whose mission is to provide quality health care and promote wellness to everyone in its communities, focusing on those most in need, has raised $7,358 toward the goal. They hope to be operating Poway's first community clinic by 2013-2014. Learn more about them and how you can help at nhcare.org/
