been short on staffmembers at times and that also needs to be addressed. We also have a lacking
in management because we do not have enough managers to go around to all of the offices.
Some of our new volunteers need to be re-educated to how the clinic works and what their
responsibilities are.
Some of our opportunities for the staff and clinic is that we will be able to have community
partnerships with more than one community at a time. The opportunity to grow our new outreach
center and to keep a full paid staff working in that center. The clinic has a wonderfull opportunity
to participate with other clinics and hospital through out New Jersey. Our clinic will be able to

they have no services of this type. The Sunshine Clinic has picked up four new sponors from the
area, who donates money every year to the clinic.

The hospital that the clinic is attached to is opening a brand new facility and has decided to expand their community support by opening a family medicine clinic that will utilize the hospital resources. The community is a wide range of working classes, low income, poor, and rural families that must travel some distance to reach health care providers. Attracting patients that need primary care and continued health care will drive referrals to the ancillary departments in the hospital. This increases revenue for the hospital.
Our vision is to be the hospital of choice for patients, employees, physicians, volunteers, and the community.

With 70 percent of their client base being female and one half inquiring about gynecological services their contribution margin will increase thus exceeding last years revenues.
