Making a difference in the lives of others
Why Give?
PrimeCare Medical, Inc. prides itself on giving back to communities where we operate. Each year, the company is involved in several fund-raising events and makes significant charitable donations. But, why do we give? The answer is simple:
“Generosity is important because it not only benefits others, but also enriches the lives of those who practice it.” – Brent Bavington, President.
Giving is our way of investing in the future, fostering hope, and supporting those who need it most. We understand our success is intertwined with the well-being of those people in the communities we serve and support action that affects positive change. Through charitable efforts, we aim to create lasting impacts that resonate beyond our company, making a difference in the lives of individuals and families. Giving isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are.
Consistent Giving, Lasting Change
On December 17th, we were proud to support Justice & Mercy, Inc.’s 17th Annual Whoopie Pie Day luncheon with a $2,500.00 sponsorship.
Justice and mercy are foundational concepts of correctional health care, as they ensure that incarcerated individuals receive fair and compassionate medical services, regardless of their offenses. Justice demands that care meets professional standards and is equally accessible, while mercy emphasizes the dignity and rehabilitation of each person. Together, these principles promote healing, reduce recidivism, and support a more just society by affirming that all people, even those who have committed crimes, deserve humane treatment and the opportunity for positive change.
Our desire is patients receive the same high-quality health care as we would wish for our families, loved-ones, and ourselves, and through our provision of that, our patients will return to their communities as healthier citizens.
