Annual Walk & Wine celebrates shared commitment to ensuring everyone has access to quality healthcare

Reported by Park Record Staff, The Park Record –

“The Park City community came together to raise $915,000 for People’s Health Clinic at its annual Walk & Wine fundraiser on Aug. 9 at Stein Eriksen Lodge.

The funds come at a critical moment for the clinic, which said it expects to see a 20% to 25% increase in patients this year, including a growing number of children, as healthcare costs climb and coverage shrinks.

“The people at risk of falling through the cracks of our healthcare system are our neighbors. Your housekeeper. Your landscaper. The construction workers who built your homes. The server who brought you a drink this morning. Our patients make this town run and for 27 years, we have been their medical home,” said Dr. Mairi Leining, CEO of People’s Health Clinic.”

“People’s Health Clinic CEO Mari Leining discusses the clinic’s need for more space due to a 375% growth since 2009. People’s Health is now serving 11,000 uninsured residents and provided 21,448 patient visits last year. The clinic wants to expand from its current 5,000 sq. ft. to 12,500 sq. ft., as allowed by a 2008 ground lease. However, it’s facing new challenges due to the Summit County Health Department’s move from Round Valley to the new PEAK Center. Leining emphasizes the clinic’s role in reducing emergency room visits and saving lives, highlighting a $3.8 million budget that provides over $7 million in free care annually. The clinic is also hosting a fundraiser to meet its needs.”
