Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. These programs typically match your contributions dollar for dollar. Please check with your employer about their matching gift program, complete the required forms, and send your donation to WV Health Right.

A gift of appreciated securities held for more than one year can provide significant benefits to you as well as WV Health Right. If you are interested in donating securities, please call Angie Settle at (304) 414-5931 for instructions and forms.

In December 2005, the WV Health Right Board of Directors, in an act of prudent stewardship and fiduciary responsibility, established a permanent endowment for the clinic. WV Health Right, while traditionally successful in its fundraising, relies on many sources of funding that could become sporadic or unreliable. An endowment ensures that in periods of financial stress the clinic can continue to serve the health needs of its patients. Further, grants typically are not available for the maintenance or capital needs of the organization. Our endowment is designed to ensure that low-income uninsured/underinsured individuals will have access to healthcare through WV Health Right. The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation manages the endowment. For additional information regarding the endowment, contact Angie Settle, CEO at (304) 414-5931 or asettle@wvhealthright.org or The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation at (304) 346-3620.

RAM Free Clinic

Each year, we partner with Remote Area Medical (RAM), a major nonprofit provider of no-cost pop-up clinics, to host a free two-day event at which more than 600 providers offer vision, dental, and medical care to those across our community who cannot afford it. With the help of our volunteers, we provide care to more than 1,000 medically underserved individuals during this two-day period each year.

Volunteer Appreciation Dinner

WV Health Right’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner recognizes our dedicated team of volunteers who donate their time to the clinic, as well as our Volunteer of the Year. This event is the clinic’s primary fundraising event. Support the event by sponsoring, buying a table, or purchasing individual tickets.

For more information regarding the RAM Free Clinic and the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, please contact Hannah King, Communications Manager & Liaison to the CEO at (304) 414-5940 or hking@wvhealthright.org.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the very foundation of WV Health Right. Without our “army” of 600 medical and non-medical volunteers, the clinic would be unable to serve the more than 45,000 patients who find their way to us each year.

For the last several years, we have partnered with Remote Area Medical to host a weekend of free medical, dental, and vision care at the Bible Center School in Charleston, WV. This year, we are utilizing our newly expanded and improved East End Clinic to provide the same free healthcare in a more accessible location.
