| The ACE-SAP Clinic office got a face lift this month from Kent Orchard and his construction crew. Kent is the father-in-law of MSN student Sarah Orchard who served at the clinic last spring. She told him about the need for more storage and he jumped at the chance to help us out. We now have a new work counter (instead of a table), two new shelves, two new locking cabinets and a forms organizer. His construction company donated both their time and materials. We thank them all. ~Rus Debonis, Allen College |
