Greetings, Valley View Rotary family and friends!!!
Thank you to Lucas Herro for speaking to us last week about his Olympic journey. Many have shared that they were very inspired by Lucas' message!!! I know I was impressed seeing the visual of how far away the target is!

St. Clare Health Mission Rotary Mobil Clinic Quarterly Report
The Rotary Mobile Clinic is off to a great start! If you recall, the Mobil Clinic debuted at Moon Tunes this past August. They report seeing between 3 and 21 patients per mobile unit outing. They are looking forward to opening the service more fully this Spring when more providers will be available to offer their services.
Street Medicine - serving local sheltered and unsheltered homeless on Wednesdays has accounted for 179 patient visits in Q4 (one day per week). Rounds include stops at the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Houska Park, Cameron Park and local parking garages. During extra cold weeks, additional stops occur at pop up shelters provided by the City of La Crosse.
Rural Medicine - Two days per month, servicing at Arcadia Middle School, Bridges Health Winona and Arcadia Schools has accounted for 61 patient visits in Q4.
