We are excited and looking forward to bringing this year’s NAFC Annual Summit to San Antonio from October 22-24, 2012. The conference will be held at the San Antonio Rivercenter Hotel, directly on the beautiful Riverwalk that has incredible restaurants and shops all within a short walking distance. This will be a perfect place for attendees to not only learn and network at the Summit, but to be able to relax and enjoy a great city.

This is a very special time designated to thank volunteers. There are not enough words to describe how amazed and grateful I am for the dedication, compassion and generosity of the 14,000 individuals who have given of themselves to the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics and our C.A.R.E. (Communities Are Responding Everyday) Clinics.
As the Supreme Court takes up a case that will decide on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and it's implications on Americans in the future, I am reminded of the plight that uninsured and underinsured American’s face daily.
