WELLINGTON SHOPPERS SUPPORT FOUNDCARE’S NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER

 

(WELLINGTON, FL) Whole Foods shoppers shopped for their own good health and the health of Palm Beach County residents last week when the specialty market’s location at 2635 State Road 7 in Wellington donated five percent of Whole Foods Market net sales to FoundCare.

 

Supporting Palm Beach County’s new non-profit Community Health Center for uninsured and underinsured children and adults, FoundCare received a check from Whole Foods for $2,208.

 

“We’re grateful for Whole Foods’ generosity,” said Steven Stolman, director of development for FoundCare.  “The new Community Health Center just opened to patients five days a week and the need from Palm Beach County residents has been staggering.  At our new 29,000 sq. ft. facility at 2330 South Congress Avenue, those who would normally have no place else to turn but overcrowded hospital emergency rooms will be seen with dignity and compassion — at nominal fees based on their ability to pay. No one will ever be turned away!”

FoundCare representatives were on hand at the Whole Foods location to answer questions about the new Community Health Center and to distribute information.  To learn more, visit www.foundcare.org.  To schedule an appointment at the Community Health Center, call 561.HEALTHY.
