Neighborhood Healthcare, a regional Federally Qualified Health Center providing medical, dental, and behavioral health services, raised over $100,000 at its first Spring Fling fundraiser.

The Temecula event also increased the awareness of the nonprofit organization’s services in Riverside County to all, regardless of their situation or circumstance.

“We’re grateful for the continued support we received from so many in the region,” said Rakesh Patel, MD, CEO of Neighborhood Healthcare. “As we rapidly expand services like PACE, mental health, pediatrics, and dental, we want to ensure that we collaborate with other organizations and influencers in Riverside County. We believe we can create healthier, more prosperous communities by being better together.”

The wine-inspired Spring Fling event included interactive experiences for attendees to try. More than 100 attended the fundraiser, with other events forthcoming.

“Spring Fling went a long way to expanding our ability to provide individuals and families with access to quality, compassionate, whole-person care,” said Tina Pope, director of external affairs for Neighborhood Healthcare. “The need continues to grow, and we will work hard to meet the increased demand.”

Corporate sponsors of the Spring Fling event included Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services LLC (AJG), BioMed Realty, Boulder Associates, American Eye Associates, Chiropractic Integrative Partners Inc (CIP), and City National Bank (CNB).
