Together, they raised $146,000 to support programs at the new Samaritan Treatment &amp; Recovery Services center in Newport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are immensely grateful that our community shows up time and again to improve access to care for patients and their families through this annual event,\u201d said Karla Clem, executive director of the PCHD Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Clem is at left in the photo with Kimberlee Gray, the PCHD Foundation&#8217;s development specialist. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On behalf of the PCHD Foundation, Clem expressed appreciation to the 140 guests who attended, and the many local and regional businesses for their support. Oregon Coast Bank and Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital Auxiliary were platinum-level sponsors for the event, and additional businesses sponsored at gold, silver and bronze levels, as well as through donations of live auction items, desserts, gift cards and certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the funds raised from the gala, we can ensure that we\u2019re setting up patients like Kimmy Palmer for ongoing success right out of the gate when the recovery center opens this summer,\u201d Clem said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palmer, who is now a Newport resident, received treatment through Samaritan\u2019s treatment and recovery center in Lebanon. She agreed to tell her inspiring story of hope in a video, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mse3h2ey_SM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reclaiming Life&#8217;s Joy<\/a>, that was shown at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-center\">About the Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Samaritan Treatment &amp; Recovery Services\u2019 Newport center will offer inpatient and outpatient treatment services, including medication-assisted therapy, group and individual therapies, and peer supports. It will also provide education, such as pro-social skills and household budgeting, plus basic necessities like clothing and hygiene items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll of the programs are designed to help patients and their families reclaim their lives from substance use,\u201d Clem said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-foundation\">About the Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1983, generous philanthropists have joined the PCHD Foundation to improve access, inspire hope, build community and leave a legacy of generosity for health care locally. Its mission is to improve the health and well-being of local communities by raising funds to acquire new equipment, facilities, services, education and art for the Pacific Communities Health District, in partnership with Samaritan Pacific Health Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a nonprofit health care provider, Samaritan does not turn anyone away for inability to pay or lack of insurance. Access to care for substance use disorder in Oregon is a dire situation. That is why community support means so much,\u201d Clem said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To learn more or to support health care initiatives meaningful to you, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/giving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">samhealth.org\/Giving<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<aside>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/105-PCHDF-Gala-Clem-Gray-CO.jpg\" class=\"attachment-cta size-cta wp-post-image\" alt=\"Karla Clem and Kimberlee Gray\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/105-PCHDF-Gala-Clem-Gray-CO.jpg 360w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/105-PCHDF-Gala-Clem-Gray-CO-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/105-PCHDF-Gala-Clem-Gray-CO-120x100.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\t\t<\/aside>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community members gathered for an evening of celebration at the Pacific Communities Health District Foundation\u2019s Gala and Auction on Saturday, Dec. 14.
