Because of a grass roots effort started 2 years ago by a few of our loyal supporters, MVMC is benefiting from items posted on our 'Wish List' that is located in our waiting room. This very successful campaign has resulted in a diverse array of support, from volunteering in-kind services such as painting and donated artwork for our hallways, to safe toys for the waiting room, on-call pagers, and higher expense items like handicap accessible exam tables. Each donation is greatly appreciated and directly relates to our ability to serve our patients.
Below is our current wish list. If you are interested in donating all or part of any item, you may speak to a staff member or you may call the clinic at:

These units are used for every patient encounter and one of the units has become unreliable.

If you would like to help with the purchase of this important piece of medical equipment, please speak with a staff member.
