By: We Care Manatee Manatee County’s medical community has been working to find a solution to the healthcare crisis that faces our county’s uninsured, and We Care Manatee wants to be a part of the answer. To help address the needs of low income, medically uninsured people and provide an alternative to the emergency room, We Care Manatee has long sought to expand the hours and services offered at its free Primary Care Clinic by hiring a nurse. In April 2015, We Care Manatee presented Manatee Matches with a proposal and was awarded with a challenge to raise $25,000. When raised, Manatee Matches would match that amount, giving We Care Manatee $50,000 to commit to a nurse position for the next three years. The challenge was accepted and the money was raised, allowing WCM to hire Jenny Koselak, RN, to fill the nurse position. We Care Manatee contributes its success in raising $25,000 for the challenge due to the generosity of ManateeMemorialHospital’ "The Manatee Chapter for Women Lawyers was pleased to support We Care Manatee as our local charity of designation,” For more information on We Care Manatee, please visit www.WeCareManatee.org or call 941-755-3952.
