Casino Night 2012

SAVE THE DATE - FEBRUARY 4TH, 2012

Since 1906, the Manatee County Medical Society has been working to guard and foster the mutual interest of their member physicians and to promote high quality health care for patients in this community. In 1999, they had the vision to address the ever increasing problem of access to specialty medical services. It was from this foresight that We Care Manatee, Inc. was created. Today the vision continues serving over 1,000 people annually with over $400,000 worth of medical services donated through their programs.

In an effort to streamline the fundraising goals, the Manatee County Medical Society and We Care Manatee are joining forces. The proceeds from Casino Night 2012 will be equally distributed to help continue the Manatee County Medical Society and We Care Manatee’s programs and services. Please join us!

The Gulf Coast Health Information Exchange is the local HIE managed by local healthcare providers. The Gulf Coast HIE is a partner of the Manatee & Charlotte County Medical Societies with the goal of improving the health of our residents by facilitating a community-wide electronic network. The Gulf Coast HIE allows credentialed healthcare providers to share patient records including clinical information, lab results, EKG and MRI reports, X-rays, and “more legible” doctors’ notes. The best part – it’s secure and HIPAA-compliant.
