Aidmatrix Partners with the Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation
DALLAS, TX -- January 19, 2009 -- The Aidmatrix Foundation Inc. announced today its partnership with the Carl B. & Florence E. King Foundation to increase the impact of their medical relief program in North Texas. Aidmatrix partners with the National Association of Free Clinics (NAFC) to provide FreeClinicLink(tm), an online solution that enables Free Clinics to order discounted and donated supplies and increases their capacity to serve the uninsured in over 200 clinics nationwide. Through the King Foundation, this program will be more fully developed in North Texas.
“With the downturn in the economy and increased demands on safety-net agencies, the King Foundation is excited about the potential of the Aidmatrix project to keep health clinics supplied at the lowest possible cost. Charitable dollars are more precious than ever right now, and the Aidmatrix effort is a great way of stretching funds to provide healthcare to the most vulnerable people in our community,” stated Michelle Monse, President of the King Foundation.
The partnership with the King Foundation will enable more uninsured families to receive increased medical care in North Texas as more clinics are given access to the tool. The program will build capacity for Free Clinics in the Dallas / Fort Worth area and enhance the healthcare options for the uninsured in North Texas.
These Free Clinics provide benefits to the aging population, children and youth as well as indigent individuals in their communities. The program goals include increasing the number of clinics, so that potentially 2,500 new families in North Texas will receive needed medical attention, and moving more than $5 million dollars of medical supplies to North Texas Free Clinics.
