2016 Event Details for Taste of Chocolate
Bartlesville’s Family Healthcare Clinic will host its annual “A Taste of Chocolate” fundraising event from 6:30 to 11:00 p.m. Friday, February 12th at the Hillcrest Country Club. The Valentine’s weekend event supports the “Access to Care” medical program for uninsured and underserved patients in the Bartlesville community.
According to the Community Service Council in Tulsa, Oklahoma is number 46 among states in terms of health. As a state we face challenges such as low immunization coverage among children and limited availability of primary care physicians. Family Healthcare Clinic is helping bridge that gap by providing services to those who need it most. 18% of our states population is without health insurance. Family Healthcare Clinic doesn’t require health insurance and is able to provide high quality and easily accessible medical care to uninsured patients.
In order to provide these services Family Healthcare Clinic organizes special events for Bartlesville residents to enjoy and make contributions to lend a helping hand to our mission. The “A Taste of Chocolate” has become a premier Valentine’s Day event that raises the funds needed for our “Access to Care” program.
Serving as Honorary Chairpersons are Doctor Robert and Doctor Jean Oliver. Dr. Oliver and his wife moved to Bartlesville in October, 1975. He joined Dr. Westbrook and Dr. McFarland in the practice of OB/GYN. After 40 years of practice, 7,000 obstetrical deliveries and lots of tennis games won and lost, Dr. Oliver closed his practice on April 1, 2015. Missing his patients and the nursing personnel, he began volunteering at Family Healthcare Clinic, seeing gynecology patients as well as those in need of contraception guidance. Dr. Oliver found the purpose of Family Healthcare Clinic to be one with which he passionately agrees. He whole heartedly supports the clinic’s mission to provide quality, affordable and accessible medical care for the underserved individuals and families of our community.
Jean Oliver has an extensive teaching background including public and private schools in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Bartlesville, Wesleyan College in Bartlesville, and the University of Oklahoma in Norman. After 20 plus years of teaching, Jean obtained a master’s degree in Spanish Literature and a PhD in Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum. She is presently a candidate for the Oklahoma State Senate District 29.
The Olivers have been married for 46 years. They have one son, Taylor, one daughter, Andrea and one granddaughter, Samantha.
