Friends & Advocates of GWM

Nothing Genesis has ever done successfully has happened in isolation- it’s all about community relationships. Thank you to these major supporters, strategic partners, and significant in-kind donors for making success possible.

Major Supporters:

Genesis Medical Center:GMC is the for-profit practice of Dr. Karl Watts and other partners are the true “genesis” behind Genesis World Mission. All the partners continue to volunteer regularly at Garden City Community Clinic and/or financially support its work.
Idaho Office Primary Care and Rural Health:This office, located within the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, has provided grants through the Health Care Access Program, which is funded by the Idaho Legislature. Currently, Genesis’ Volunteer Coordinator’s salary is supported by a two year state grant.
Intermountain Medical Imaging:IMI and Gem State Radiology have been strong corporate supporters from the very beginning of Genesis World Mission’s existence. Not only do they provide a significant portion of charity x-rays and diagnostic radiology services, but in 2008 made a three year corporate support pledge of $50,000 annually.
Regence Blue Shield of Idaho:Regence Foundation provided a grant in 2009, financially supporting an arrangement between the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho and Garden City Community Clinic. This arrangement allows patient access to healthcare that would otherwise not be available.
Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center:Annual corporate financial support is a small part of their ongoing partnership with Genesis, while also providing volunteer recruitment help, professional development, marketing services, discounted building cleaning, and pharmaceutical disposal. Charity surgical services, x-ray, and lab services are also arranged and contributed to the Volunteer Physicians Network.
St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center:St. Luke’s started supporting Genesis before there was even a physical place to support by donating a double wide-trailer to get started on local work. Since then, ongoing corporate financial support, key volunteers, and charity surgical services have been donated.
Terry Reilly Health Services:2009 Terry Reilly provided a significant grant to fund the development efforts of extending access of the Volunteer Physicians Network to Canyon County. This extension will enable the larger of TRHS Community Health Center operations to access this donated specialty care, while also strengthening VPN’s infrastructure.
United Way of Treasure Valley:Genesis World Mission is very pleased to be a receipt of Community Impact Funds since the 2003 Campaign Year. Genesis views UWTV as one of the top five United Way organizations in the nation. Without UWTV, capacity building, volunteer recruitment, and community networking would not be possible.
