TRANSFORMING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH BETTER ACCESS TO CARE The Jerry Smith Community Wellness Center
Standout Donors Thank you to these standout 2023 donors for believing in our mission, and for helping us expand our impact in our community. MacKenzie Scott, Chicago
In a heartfelt act of generosity, an anonymous donor contributed $5 million to the East 4th Street Clinic campaign. The donor requested we name the new clinic after Jerry Smith, a cherished friend and dedicated supporter of HOPES, who passed away in March 2023. Serving as the President, Foundation Manager, and Director of the Nell J. Redfield Foundation, Jerry cared deeply for our community and was passionate about HOPES’ mission. Why We are Expanding HOPES’ current clinic has reached capacity, putting a limit on how many we are able to serve. Additionally, there is a severe lack of behavioral health services in Washoe County, particularly for those on Medicaid or with no insurance. To meet these growing needs, HOPES is building a new clinic on East 4th St., in the heart of one of northern Nevada’s most disenfranchised communities. The clinic, adjacent to the Washoe County-operated Cares Campus (our community’s homeless shelter) and across from Hope Springs (HOPES’ bridge housing community), will offer comprehensive medical and behavioral healthcare services, including Medication-Assisted Treatment, an Intensive Outpatient Program, and an on-site pharmacy. The new clinic will also offer same-day appointments.
