MHC Healthcare Main Clinic Open House

Published on: August 15, 2011

Greetings and Salutations,

Please allow me the opportunity to extend a huge thank you to all the vendors, agencies and participants who made Built for a New Generation, the MHC Healthcare Open House on August 12^th an amazing success.  MHC Healthcare is humbled by the partnerships and the generosity of the community and our vendors who supported the open house.  We are so appreciative of the time and expertise which was provided to bring all the elements together for a truly spectacular time for all who attended. 

When we set out to host the event, we planned to extend an invitation to the community to meet and greet the MHC Main Medical providers and we would conduct tours of the facility.  Well, the event exceeded everyone’s original expectations.  An idea grew into a magically diverse display of health and wellness booths, family friendly activities and a genuine manifestation of how Marana comes together for a cause.  The displays and the information provided were well received by participants of all ages.  We had toddlers to seniors visiting the clinic and enjoying the pizza, the band and the booths.  Without a doubt, Built for a New Generation was a well received night of family friendly food and fun. 

When the night was over we summarized a selection of metrics to define “how big was it?”  I have listed a few of the quantifiable points below so you have an idea of the volume, size and impact YOU made on our community.  We are very interested in hearing from all of you if you have additional quantifiable information to illustrate the volume of the event.  

Thank you again for your willingness to be part of building a better world.  We are grateful for your support and your partnership to bring knowledge, services and smiles to our community.

With the deepest appreciation,

How Big was it????
