Did you know?

Currently, over 41,000 adults in the Santa Barbara County are uninsured. Many of our community members fall through the cracks in our health care system, and we at Saviehealth are trying to change that. We are the safety net.

We believe the high cost of healthcare should not hinder anyone from seeking medical attention. That is why, with your support, our clinic is open to our uninsured community members regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, immigration status, or sexual orientation.

$100

Provides a patient screening for multiple types of cancer.

A Letter to the Community,

Savie Health has been open for 16 months in Lompoc, as our county’s only completely free health clinic for the uninsured. It seems like the clinic is getting busier every day, and we are honored to be able to serve the estimated 23% of Northern Santa Barbara County (and 9% of South County) residents who have lower incomes and no health insurance.

One patient had a large nasal polyp that was interfering with her ability to breathe, causing her nose to be deformed, and making it hard for her to sleep. She had lived with this for two years, until she came to our clinic. After being seen by a clinic volunteer physician, she was referred to a volunteer ENT doctor in Lompoc. The patient had surgery to remove the polyp at nearby Lompoc Valley Medical Center at no charge to her. She can now breathe normally, sleep well, and her nose is no longer deformed. It is stories like these that motivate us to serve as many patients as we possibly can.

Our Thanks for Giving Luncheon is coming up on Saturday, November 4, and will be held at Pico Los Alamos. With an amazing keynote speaker focusing on health equity for women, this will be a wonderful afternoon to enjoy a multi course meal with wine pairings and entertainment. Tickets are $95 or two for $175. The event will honor Ashley Costa with the Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization and Lompoc Valley Medical Center; while raising critically needed funds that will support patient care. Please join us if you can!

Gratefully,

$1000

Keeps the medical clinic open for two days.
