Tickets are now on sale for the Fond du Lac Agnesian HealthCare Foundation’s annual Samaritan Cash Raffle. The top prize is $50,000. The 2023 drawing is scheduled for noon on Wednesday, May 10 on the Greater Fond du Lac’s Facebook page. The raffle is being sponsored in part by the Fond du Lac County Medical Society, and Shea Electric & Communications, LLC. The SSM Health Samaritan Clinic – which opened in 1992 – provides health care to around 500 underinsured patients annually. The clinic works to provide a full spectrum of care, helping individuals to navigate insurance options, finding a primary care provider, and working with local community resources if other needs arise. The clinic is funded by donations through the Agnesian HealthCare Foundation and Samaritan Cash Raffle proceeds. “The Samaritan Clinic is such a noteworthy cause because it helps provide critical health care services to the poor and vulnerable without duplicating other services available in our community,” according to Shawn Fisher, Agnesian HealthCare Foundation executive director. “We’re able to offer acute care services and better continuity of care for those patients with chronic illnesses.” Tickets are now available for $50 each, four for $150 or nine for $300.
