July 31, 2009People’s Community Clinic Receives Waiting Room Makeover
Michael & Susan Dell Foundation Employees Transform Space into Child-Friendly Place
AUSTIN, Texas – July 31, 2009—The People’s Community Clinic (PCC) waiting room was transformed last week by a team of employees from the Austin-based Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. As part of a team-building effort for the foundation’s more than 50 employees from offices in Austin, New Delhi, India, and South Africa during its annual “Foundation Week”, eight grant-receiving agencies in the Austin area benefited from fresh paint and creativity.
“The Clinic serves thousands of children every year,” said Regina Rogoff, chief executive officer at People’s Community Clinic. “We are thrilled that a child’s impressions of the Clinic when they walk through the door will be so fun and positive.”
Once a year, employees from the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation join together in Austin for a week of learning and team-building and this is the first year a service project to partner agencies has been a part of it.
The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation is a longtime supporter of People’s Community Clinic’s pediatric and adult services and recently awarded a grant of $250,000 to the Clinic.
