Connie & Bob Peirce Physicians' Fund |
More about us |
|
Marin Community Clinics is pleased to announce the establishment of The Connie and Bob Peirce Physicians’ Fund. This new fund for our medical staff was made possible by a very generous gift from Connie and Bob Peirce of Belvedere. The purpose of this special fund is to enhance the recruitment, retention, and training of our physicians. The expansion of much-needed services, such as mental health, gynecology, obstetrics, and geriatric services, and specialties such as obesity control, chronic disease management, and pain management, will require additional physicians and an improved network of specialists. Marin Community Clinics has built a medical team that is unsurpassed, comprised of 27 physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse midwives supported by nurses, licensed clinical social workers, and volunteer specialty care physicians. Yet the greatest challenge we face in meeting the growing need for low-cost health care is recruiting and retaining qualified, committed and culturally sensitive physicians. This Fund will enable MCC to recruit physicians and offer student loan repayment assistance in exchange for long-term employment commitments. In addition, based on patients’ needs and trends in medicine, further training and continuing medical education will be offered to our physicians. Dr. Georgianna Farren, Chief Medical Officer, said “We are so grateful to the Peirces for their generous gift. This exciting program will give current and new physicians opportunities to build on their knowledge and skills, renewing interest in their field as well as benefitting our patients and enhancing Marin Community Clinics’ overall services”. The Fund has also received a grant from the Joanne and Peter Haas, Jr. Fund. But additional contributions are needed to fully fund this program.
