It’s time to support Community Health Center

Costumes & Comedy is coming soon

In Fort Dodge, those who do not have health insurance have an option for getting high quality medical care.

It’s called the Community Health Center of Fort Dodge and it offers medical, dental and behavioral health care. While most insurance is accepted there, those who need a financial break will have their bills based on their ability to pay. It opened in 2006 and has been a key source of care for thousands of area residents since then.

A chance for everyone to support the Community Health Center that helps so many of our neighbors is now underway. It will conclude this coming Saturday with an evening of food, laughter and Halloween costumes.

The upcoming event is called Costumes & Comedy. It will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday at Shimkat Motor Co., 3126 Fifth Ave. S. Tickets are $45 in advance or $50 at the door. They can be purchased at the Community Health Center, 126 N. 10th St., Shimkat Motor Co., or online at CHCFD.com

The featured entertainment Saturday evening will be Wolfdog Comedy.

The portion of the event that is already underway is an online auction featuring gift cards for local restaurants, and other local goods and services.

All the money raised through the auction and Saturday’s party will benefit the Community Health Center. Some of that money will be spent to buy a mobile dental office. This unit will be a motor home with dentist chairs and other equipment inside. It will enable the health center staff to go on the road to provide needed dental care to people close to where they live.

This event will allow people to have some fun and maybe win some special items during the raffle and auction. But most importantly, it will generate some money to ensure that the Community Health Center of Fort Dodge can keep on caring for people whatever their financial or insurance status may be.

Starting at $2.99/week.
