Representatives of AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, a company that has been “committed to patient health by continually working to discover, develop and deliver innovative health-care solutions that help enrich the lives of patients, families and communities since 1912,” recently presented the Angels Community Clinic with a check for $10,000. The money will be used toward a 2008 fund-raising campaign for the clinic, according to the Rev. Dennis Norvell, chairman of the board of directors of the clinic.
“We are planning a fund raiser after the first of the year. At that time we will be giving away a 2008 Lincoln MKX that we are getting at cost from David Parker at Parker Ford,” he said. “We hope to raise enough money to expand the clinic.”
He said the details of the fund raiser would be announced in the near future.
Gil R. Cowles, district sales manager, Gastrointestinal, CV and CNS Products, with AstraZeneca, said, “This is a very important and exciting day for us. AstraZeneca is committed to improving the health of patients and being a good corporate citizen. That's why we are here today and proud to stand with Angels Clinic for doing so much to support our community.
“We are proud to stand with Angels Clinic in support of our community and their mission to help patients.”
AstraZeneca is an international pharmaceutical company with employees living and working in western Kentucky. For nearly three decades AstraZeneca has offered drug assistance programs side-by-side with its medicines, and over the past five years has provided $3 billion in savings to more than 1 million patients throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
“We are excited to work with Angels Clinic as they are an important part of patient health-care in our community,” he said. “We are doing this for community health-care clinics in several states that serve the working uninsured and Murray's Angels Community Clinic was our focus in Kentucky.”
