Marillac Clinic announced today that it has launched its official website:

The Clinic, which serves uninsured and low income Mesa County residents, provides medical, dental, integrated mental health and optical services, as well as a medication outlet for low cost prescriptions.

Commenting on the new site, Steve Hurd, Executive Director, stated "We are very excited to be able provide this site for our patients and supporters. The web site is full of great information about the Clinic's programs and services. In addition to descriptions of our facilities and services, there is information about ongoing outreach and pro-active screenings, as well as patient eligibility, volunteerism, employment, donations and much more."

The new site was created as a collaboration of two local firms. DesignKiln and ReSource Design worked with a task force of key Marillac staff. "It was  very smooth process", said John Anglim, owner of Resource Design, "DesignKiln brought their state of the art approach to create a site that is very user-friendly and flexible enough to grow with the Clinic's needs"

"We are committed to the ongoing process of maintaining and improving our site so that it will continue to serve our patients and supporters in the most efficient way." said Kristy Schmidt, Marillac's Director of Community and Consumer Relations "We look forward to the site becoming an important tool in helping to keep our community informed about all the wonderful services and people at Marillac." She continued, "Even longtime friends and supporters of the Clinic will discover new things about the Clinic on the web site, and newcomers will find a wealth of great information about all of our programs."

Marillac Clinic has served the Grand Valley since 1988 and has grown dramatically in recent years to meet the ever increasing need of uninsured and low income families in the Grand Valley. In addition to the main location at 2333 North 6th Street in Grand Junction, Marillac has added a new clinic in Palisade to serve the residents of eastern Mesa County in addition to the migrant and seasonal farmworkers in our community.
