2014 Annual Report
Board of Directors
Dear Friends of the Neighborhood Health Clinic,
As my term as Chair of the Board of Directors comes to a close, I
can’t help but reflect on the amazing progress the Clinic continues to

make in our effort to provide quality health care to the working yet
uninsured adults in our community. My fellow volunteer Board members
provide tremendous energy, experience and commitment to the
Clinic’s mission as we look to fulfill both short and long term strategic
needs necessary to continue quality medical and dental care.
Thanks to your philanthropic support, the Clinic has proceeded to

and presented by our Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Lascheid, and the
Chair-Elect

Member-At-Large
Board’s supporting committees.
Many of you are aware that in spite of great efforts to improve
the efficiency of our existing building, the Clinic is unable to meet the
medical and dental needs of our existing patients because of space
limitations, let alone provide care to thousands more identified in a
Directors
Hodges University Assessment study done a few years ago. With this in
Joseph S. Davis
mind, last summer the Board unanimously approved the purchase, with

cash reserves and no debt, of approximately 2 acres of property to the

south of the Clinic. After approaching our stakeholders including our
volunteers, health care providers and most importantly our patients, the
Board of Directors has begun to prioritize what services should be
initiated or enhanced as we thoughtfully consider the plans to develop
this property.
Now, more than ever, the Neighborhood Health Clinic will need
your help, support and patronage as we reach out to improve the care
we are providing to our patients.
On behalf of my fellow Board Members, I
sincerely thank you.

Our CEO’s letter to our supporters
Reflecting on the last year, I think many of us will remember 2014 with both sadness
and a sense of accomplishment. The passing of my father, the co-founder of the Clinic, has
left a void that can never be filled. I know, however, the pride he felt in the certainty that
another phase of his vison had been fulfilled.
The purchase of two acres adjoining the Clinic is one of the Clinic’s biggest
accomplishments in the last decade. This fulfills one of my father’s dreams for the Clinic’s
ongoing mission: providing a broader range of services for our patients and the community.
For the second year in a row, the Clinic has been awarded Charity Navigator’s
“4 Star” rating. We received the highest rating because we exceed industry standards and
outperform most charities in the category of health services and treatment. We are indeed
fortunate to have a Board of Directors whose leadership results in the Clinic’s financial
health, accountability and transparency that is unmatched by most non-profits.
All of this success underscores our mission to provide quality medical care to lowincome, uninsured workers in Collier County. Outreach efforts have increased where we are
targeting the work force that fall within our qualifying guidelines, and are ineligible for
government programs.
Patient education is expanding with new classes and more
participants. We see our greatest success in the eyes and smiles of our patients as their
health and lives improve.
Leslie Lascheid
Chief Executive Officer
Being there when someone is in need—
that’s a good neighbor and the purpose
of the Neighborhood Health Clinic
A message from Nancy
As I began to sort through Bill’s desk and random papers it became a journey of
memories, sometimes I smiled, sometimes I cried, and other times I laughed out loud. There
were lots of books and many were focused on medical care for low-income workers. This
was his life’s goal. He often wrote notes regarding references to cultural and geographical
issues for low-income workers regarding their medical needs. Found inside one of the books
was the corner of a newspaper from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. His note written in pencil
was smeared but readable:
“The respectful way to do this is a singular location of medical, dental and social
services; we need a singular campus concept.” The year was 1977. This was the
genesis of the Neighborhood Health Clinic.
Over the years we observed charity clinics nationally and internationally. We
gathered many ideas and Bill continued to have concern and be focused on how to care
for the less fortunate in our community.
The year was 1999 and in our kitchen the morning smell of coffee was strong. Today
was the day, we were ready to draft the plan, with yellow legal pads in hand, Bill and I
wrote the Neighborhood Health Clinic mission and vision statements:
“We will deliver quality health care to uninsured low-income workers in an
atmosphere of dignity and respect using private philanthropy, no government funds
and we will do it with volunteers. We will care for those who choose work over
welfare.”
He was on target in 1977 and in 1999; fast forward to now. The success of the Clinic is
legendary. With the purchase of the adjacent land, we have the opportunity to enhance
services. A survey of patients and volunteers was conducted because this is the patients’
medical home and the volunteers’ community service. Their opinions are important to us.
With this information, we are poised to move forward.
Your generosity and compassion have made all of this possible.
On
behalf
of
the
Clinic
“Thank you”.
Nancy Lascheid BSN RN
Co-Founder

and
our
patients,
Our Patients share their stories
I have a family history of cancer—all four of my sisters died of this disease. I knew I needed tests. Though I
worked, I had little money for my medical needs. At the Neighborhood Health Clinic I saw Nancy Lascheid. She
eased my worries and was my angel. She scheduled an appointment with a doctor who referred me for testing.
Thankfully, I was cancer free.
For six years, I received annual mammograms and pap tests at the Clinic. Then, I developed chest pain
and shortness of breath. Dr. Tober explained that I had rapid heartbeats and bronchitis. I was given medications
and follow-up appointments. Dr. Tober encouraged me to exercise and made many suggestions that were
good for my heart and health.
I feel healthier, and I’m able to work full time again. There are no words to say thank you to the
Neighborhood Health Clinic. The doctors and nurses are always so helpful and kind.
Maria Z. has been a Clinic patient since 2007.
“The Neighborhood Health Clinic saved my life”
Two years ago I suffered an angina attack. I was 47 years old, working but sick without insurance. The
emergency room doctors prescribed medication that cost $300 per month.
I couldn’t afford the medicine. A colleague told me about the Neighborhood Health Clinic and how they
helped working people with no health insurance. The Clinic is a busy place, the waiting room is always full but
every patient is seen.
I took advantage of the Clinic’s diabetes class and four-week nutrition program. I learned to cook and eat
healthy. It took time and effort, but I lost twenty pounds and have continued to keep it off.
The Clinic’s staff is made up of volunteers. I was amazed that so many are willing to work for free, for the
good of the community. The Neighborhood Health Clinic not only has great doctors and nurses, they also have
great programs to help you stay healthy. I no longer worry about what will happen to me in the future.
Joseph L. considers the Clinic as his medical home.
With
patients
coming
from
43
different countries of origin, the Clinic sees
a wide variety of conditions and illnesses
that may not be typically seen in Collier
County’s
population.
As
medical
and
dental professionals, this situation can be
challenging but provides an interesting
dimension to one’s experience.
We
have
treated
a
case
of
neurocystercercosis (brain parasites) as well
as
Leprosy
and
many
other
tropical
diseases such as schistosomiasis (a type of
fluke or worm). The diversity of people
coming through the Clinic doors and their
trust that we are here to care for them is
part of the reward the medical and dental
professionals receive.
From the clinical perspective, the
possibilities that exist for the Clinic’s future
growth are many and possibilities are not
yet firm plans. Some of the opportunities we
know will be explored include expanding
the dental program, increasing diagnostic
capabilities, and providing more education
classes. These are only a few examples but
the “wish list” will indeed be long.
Robert B. Tober MD
Medical Director
Dental Services - Needed and Expanding
Dentistry at the Clinic is expanding. The need for the Clinic’s dental services continues to grow.
At the present time we can only treat existing patients whose oral health is causing or exacerbating a
medical issue. To increase the capacity of the dentistry program, thanks to the generosity of one of our
donors, the Clinic has upgraded equipment and added a panoramic x-ray unit, which will have useful
applications beyond the dental suite.
Even more significantly, the increased number of volunteer dentists and hygienists is further
validation of our dental program and mission. Providing services at the Clinic or, when warranted, at
private facilities, is part of the Clinic’s patient-driven efforts to meet all of the ongoing health challenges
that impact so many of our patients.
As we endeavor to offer more services to a greater number of patients, they will find their
medical home is also their dental home. We are confident that we will meet this ongoing challenge
and very serious need. Thank you for your support!
Thomas C. Brick DMD
Secretary of the Board of Directors
Dental Clinic Founder
We are there for those in need
I was living in a homeless shelter when an ER doctor told me I needed a dentist for my mouth infections—
my teeth were rotten.
With no money, I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, a friend suggested the Neighborhood Health Clinic.
Their volunteer dentist said all of my teeth would have to be pulled and replaced with dentures.
I knew I had to solve my health problems. I was determined. Finally the dental work was done and that’s
when my life began to change. I regained my energy and found a better job.
Today, I am the proud mother of three with a full time job. What the dentist and his assistants did changed
my life. The Neighborhood Health Clinic treats everyone with kindness. I don’t know what would have happened
to me if the Clinic hadn’t been there.
Kelly L. first visited the Clinic in 2007.
Block Party
Like the Clinic, the Block Party has evolved from its humble
beginnings to a sparkling “heritage” event. In 2004, the Block Party was
truly a block party, taking place on the main street of Bayfront on a
breezy day. This inaugural event was quite a success with net proceeds
of $124,631.
The Block Party has grown up and thanks to the generosity of
hundreds of attendees, this year’s 2015 Block Party at The Ritz CarltonGolf Resort was the most successful yet, netting a record high--over
$735,000. From the bright red Corvette convertible on the lawn to the
glow of tiny flashlights as part of a remembrance of Dr. Lascheid, it was
truly a memorable evening.
Another first was the presentation of the Dr. William P. Lascheid
Founder’s Award, recognizing Dr. George Ferguson for exemplifying the traits for which Dr. Lascheid
was known: vision, leadership and compassion.
The Clinic extends its great appreciation to the attendees and sponsors, especially to our
presenting sponsors, Vince and Pat Foglia.
A very special congratulations to Susan Jones, who has chaired the Block Party committee
eleven times, each year raising the bar. With a dedicated committee of volunteers, Susan is already
preparing for the next stellar ‘Block Party’.

Collier County benefits greatly because of the generous gift of time given by volunteers to a broad
spectrum of non-profits. I have volunteered at the Clinic for over ten years and also serve on the Board of
Directors. I am particularly motivated to give my time as lead intake counselor because of the Clinic’s mission
to provide much needed health care to hardworking, low-income residents for whom the Clinic is the last
safety net.
The opportunity to work directly with patients, learn about their lives,
families and work, gives me unique insight into the challenges our patients face. I
see their dignity as they overcome many difficulties. Their appreciation is evident
by the way they meet the Clinic’s expectations, comply with doctors’ orders, and
by the profound gratitude expressed by their actions and words.
The feeling of respect is reciprocated by all of us who work and volunteer
at the Neighborhood Health Clinic. It has been said that a good deal is only a
good deal if it is good for everyone involved. I think the Clinic provides us all with
the best deal in town.

Spreading the Good News about the Clinic
Thanks to the leadership of Board member and Development Committee Chair, Jim Valukas,
the Clinic has organized three new groups to encourage more engagement from our community.
The new groups follow the example set by the Guild which now has over 100 enthusiastic,
dedicated and energetic women serving as active advocates and Clinic supporters. Penny Lauer,
Guild President 2014-2015, and incoming Guild President, Kathy Friday, have led the Guild this past
year to successfully broaden awareness with
receptions, tours and luncheons. Through the
Guild’s fundraising efforts, the Clinic now
utilizes two Kirby Lester medication dispensing
instruments maximizing the efficiency and
effectiveness
in
the
Clinic’s
very
busy
pharmacy. Other support (such as surgical
equipment,
EKG
units
and
extensive
redecorating) has been equally valuable.
Call for Ambassadors, Stewards and
