JayDoc Vitals Buckets- Thank you donors and volunteers!

By editor | January 29, 2009

JayDoc Free Clinic has integrated new Vitals Buckets into the clinic protocol. These buckets feature a variety of clinical tools including blood pressure cuffs, thermometers, monofilaments, and more. This project was made possible thanks to KUMC Medical Student Assembly, who donated the proceeds of their annual Halloween party, Heart to Heart International, who donated several items for each bucket, and JayDoc Diabetes Night, who donated the monofilaments. Thanks to all who helped with this project, which we hope will be a great asset to the clinic process!

JayRock 4

By editor | November 18, 2008

JayRock, a benefit concert, is the primary fund-raiser for Jaydoc Free Clinic. Through JayRock, all contributions are significant and meaningful. Because of the generosity of our partners, all JayRock donations contribute directly to the operation of the clinic.

Over four years, JayRock has become a big success. Last year, JayRock 3 raised 20% of the clinic’s annual budget and was the subject of stories in the Kansas City Star and the Pitch and on NPR, among others. For JayRock 4:

JayRock raises funds for the clinic through event sponsorships.

Become a Sponsor

There are 47 million uninsured people in the United States. About 42% of them are between the ages of 18 and 34. Nearly three-quarters of them work full time or part time. Employed and unemployed; young, old, and middle-aged, thousands of underinsured people have received care at Jaydoc Free Clinic. And hundreds of them have attended a JayRock concert.

As sponsor of JayRock 2009, your group will reach out to two important demographic groups: (1) thousands of health care consumers living in the Kansas City metropolitan region through a far-reaching promotional campaign coordinated by professionals at Barkley US and (2) hundreds of new, future, and established physicians who will influence the future of the health care industry. And, perhaps more meaningful, as a JayRock 2009 sponsor, your group will help provide urgent care to thousands of underserved Kansas Citians.

Media Package

Each sponsorship package is designed to build actual and philanthropic return on your investment, while creating positive public relations and allowing you to reach directly this powerful audience. Many sponsors will receive the Media Package benefits outlined below, in addition to the unique benefits specific for each package.
