The Barton Foundation is proud to once again dedicate the proceeds from the Festival of Trees and Lights to the Barton Community Clinic.
Everyone in our community is affected by the economic downturn, but especially those with lower incomes, who may have been living pay check to pay check and now may not even have that income coming in. This affects us all. It affects our children, the elderly, and the health of our families.

The Barton Community Clinic usually sees about 1,200 patients a month. Since January 2009, this demand has steadily grown and the Clinic is now seeing upwards of 1,600 patients a month. This stretches the services, staff, and facilities of our clinic.

Proceeds from this year’s Festival of Trees and Lights will help fund an $800,000 expansion of the Barton Community Clinic. The expansion will allow for a larger waiting room, more patient exam rooms, and allow us to better meet the growing needs of our community.

Your participation in Barton Health’s Festival of Trees and Lights will help Barton continue to provide exceptional care to everyone in our community. On behalf of the over 5,000 adults and 1,500 children who are cared for in our clinic each year, thank you for making the Festival of Trees and Lights a priority and to opening your hearts to those less fortunate.

Together we can make a difference.

Please note: Proceeds from The Gala which includes the live auction of the Designer Trees benefits the Community Health Endowment which supports the future health of our community. During the live auction at The Gala, a "Fund-a-Dream" appeal will be made for the Barton Community Clinic. Last year’s appeal raised $13, 350 for the clinic.
