Last month’s Mint Jubilee, hosted by the Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation, raised $145,000 to support the Clay Community Care Clinic.

The event was held at the Eastville Car Museum and featured entertainment from the Hibbs Family Band and Nashville recording artist Hannah Dasher. Nearly 400 people attended the sold-out event to show their support for the clinic, which provides primary and specialty care services to adult patients regardless of their insurance status.

"We are thankful for the generosity of our foundation donors, as well as the many sponsors and community members who made this year’s Mint Jubilee a success," said Steven Dasher, executive director for the Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation. "The enormous support we received through this year's event will help to build a simulation lab in the clinic that Piedmont Athens' medical residents can use."

Piedmont is a federally certified 501(c)3 nonprofit community hospital system. As a nonprofit, gifts are a vital part of supporting Piedmont's mission and directly benefit the health and wellness of patients in the communities served. The Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation Board of Directors identified the Clay Community Care Clinic as an area of priority during their current campaign. A donation to Foundation programs supports patients, employees, and the community in many ways.

The Piedmont Athens Regional Clay Community Care Clinic accepts all adult patients regardless of insurance status. With a mission to “provide quality access and continuity of care to the patients we serve”, the clinic aims to provide patient-centered comprehensive care.
