Mayo Clinic is contributing $22 million to organizations in Arizona, Minnesota, and Florida to help meet the needs of underserved vulnerable populations.
Located at 5777 E. Mayo Blvd., in Phoenix, Mayo supports the valuable work of Circle the City, Adelante Healthcare and The Society of St. Vincent de Paul with a contribution of $2 million.
"We actually have a goal of touching more than half of the world's population by 2030,” Richard Gray, Mayo Clinic in Arizona CEO, shared in a press release. “So that means patients that we don't directly interact with, we still care about, and we still want to do the right things for, and we want to facilitate others who can more directly impact those people as well."
Arizona nonprofit Circle the City will receive $1 million from Mayo Clinic. The organization provides medical care to men, women and children experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County. Circle the City plans to use the money to build its third respite center in the East Valley.
Adelante Healthcare will receive $500,000 from Mayo. The federally qualified health center has nine locations in Arizona that provide care to uninsured and underinsured patients. Adelante offers family medicine, pediatrics, women's healthcare, dental and behavioral health.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul will receive $400,000 from Mayo. The nonprofit works to feed, clothe, house, and heal individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Services include medical and dental care, housing, shelter, clothing, and food to thousands in need daily.
The remaining $100,000 will go to a variety of nonprofit organizations and Title 1 schools to assist in meeting critical health and educational needs in the community.
