As health insurance rates continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, so it is no wonder that many companies are asking their employees pay more for their coverage. Many businesses are finding it necessary to drop coverage altogether. For those whose income prohibits them from seeking out medical services when they need them, the Volunteers In Medicine Clinic offers a place to go. By giving these people access to excellent medical care, the business owner clearly benefits as well. The employee can stop an illness or health concern before it becomes acute. Workers without health care coverage will miss more workdays than that of their co-worker who does have coverage.
Here’s a testimonial from one family business that answered the call:
"The Gonyea Family and Timber Products Company support the Volunteers In Medicine Clinic, because of the worthy cause and growing need of providing health care to those that otherwise would go without in the community where we live. We are also moved to support this community healthcare effort because of its leader Sr. Monica Heeran and the worthy volunteers that all walk in the steps of Mother Teresa in our own backyard."
Joe Gonyea, III
