Bubbles & Brunch
For 47 years, the Bradley Free Clinic has provided free healthcare to the Roanoke Valley’s low-income uninsured with medical, behavioral health, dental, and pharmacy services. As we have all struggled this past 18 months through COVID-19, the one constant we have had is that the Bradley Free Clinic will always be that safety net for our patients and the community. The amazing team of volunteer healthcare professionals, with our faithful donors, continues to be unwavering in their support of the Clinic and provide the critical services to keep our patients healthy. All of our healthcare services have grown dramatically over the last two years, and we continue to expand and develop new programs to meet better the changing needs of our patients and the community. We now offer programs such as a HepC Clinic, Hypertension Clinic, Diabetes Management, Women’s Health, and expanded Dental Services. These programs provide more comprehensive care and education. Funding for these programs continues to come from donations and fundraising events like Bradley Bubbles & Brunch. contents

Dedication of the Dental Department to Cathy Ford, dds & Jim McClung, DDS
regular participant in the three-day medical/dental clinic. The MOM provided free dental services, including restorative, extractions, and dentures, to more than 1200 patients each year. Jim continued to volunteer his services to the “Mini-MOMS (Mission of Mercy) coordinated by the Bradley Free Clinic in Roanoke in much the same way. We are dedicating the Ford and McClung Dental Department to Cathy and Jim for their long-standing dedication and commitment to the Bradley Free Clinic.
Cathy and Jim moved to Roanoke from New Orleans in 1980 after completing their training in general dentistry and oral/ maxillofacial surgery, respectively. Cathy opened her general dentistry practice in Rocky Mount, VA, shortly after that and maintained it for 26 years before retiring in 2006. Along the way, Cathy found time to assist with fundraising for various organizations in the Roanoke Valley, including the Bradley Free Clinic. In addition, she proctored the VCU dental students at the Clinic from time to time. Cathy also served on the Board of Directors for Family Service of Roanoke Valley. She frequently provided free dental services for the indigent in her private practice, including the needy Ferrum College students. Jim entered the private practice of oral & maxillofacial surgery in 1980 and treated numerous Bradley Free Clinic patients in his office over the ensuing 33 years. After he retired from private practice in 2013, he began volunteering at the Clinic, soon establishing a “Tuesday morning” extraction Clinic. He also proctored VCU dental students regularly. When the Mission of Mercy (MOM) project came to Wise County, where he grew up, Jim quickly volunteered and became a

Philanthropy Recognition
William & margaret Robertson Family
The Bradley Free Clinic has been a passion of both Willie and Margaret Robertson for many years. They have always been the first to step up to the plate. They were introduced to the Clinic through their son Will’s involvement as a patient screener in the mid-’80s at the St. Mark’s location. He completed a hands-on independent study for Wake Forest University updating the screener’s manual during this time. After this, Willie volunteered behind the scenes when the clinic moved to its current location with Margaret’s encouragement. Willie and a group of Rotarians helped maintain landscaping by getting his hands in the dirt, his favorite pastime. In the winters, the Clinic would need snow removal, and whenever Estelle, the former director, would call Willie, he would arrange to have it take care of. Willie and Margaret developed a tremendous amount of respect for the charity work being done at the Clinic and a great admiration for Estelle. Unfortunately, Willie passed away in February of 2019, and sadly Margaret passed away two weeks ago, on September 5th. So here with us today is their son, Will Robertson, and his wife Shari and their daughter, Virginia Summerell, and her husband JJ.
Willie and Margaret’s desire has always been to help others in need. Margaret wanted to continue to support projects at the Clinic, so with funds from the Robertson Family Fund managed by the Community Foundation of Southwest Virginia, they made a legacy donation. Their legacy donation is the catalyst that will help the Clinic build a new behavioral health wing. This expansion will provide much-needed space for psychiatry and counseling services for the underserved in our community. The new wing, the new hope, will be called the Robertson Behavioral Health Wing.

Fund a need: Robertson Behavioral health winG
Fund a Need – A New Hope A New Wing Bradley’s behavioral health program has grown by over 300% in the last two years. We had 40 patients in 2019 and now treat 400+ in Fall 2021. In addition, we provide services annually to another 350 new clients through the HOPE Initiative. HOPE clients are supported by Peer Recovery Specialists navigating patients into treatment and recovery programs throughout the area. The total number of patients expected by the end of 2021 will be between 800 and 900. In the fall of 2019, we launched our fundraising efforts to build a new behavioral health wing, which will include six new counseling rooms, two group counseling rooms and much needed behavioral health work space. By April of 2021, we raised $751,000, the expected cost of the addition. Bids came in July 2021, with a price tag of close to one million to construct our new wing. Our talented team from Interactive Design Group and Lionberger Construction are working with us to make this a reality. To those who have already given, Thank You! We are now making an all-out effort to raise an additional $200,000 to close the funding gap, and we ask for your help now more than ever. Raise your bid card to donate to Fund a Need!

Dr. Richard JoachimMemorial Plaque
Dr. Richard Joachim began volunteering at the Bradley Free Clinic in 1982. Dr. Joachim has been devoted to the clinic as a volunteer dentist and a member of the board of directors. In addition, he served as the volunteer Dental Director for 15 years. His commitment to serving our patients and dedication to mentoring the VCU dental students went above and beyond. Dr. Richard Joachim advocated for Bradley’s services and the value of volunteering in his well-known style, genuine and matter-of-fact. He often said, “You will be giving back to the community what you do best, and there is a good chance you will gain as much edification yourself as you are giving in your professional time.” We all certainly miss him!
The memorial plaque will be displayed in the center of the Dental Department.
