The Purple Pod Is Powered!
A purple light show on stage was an energetic display of our support for Alliance Medical Ministry’s goal to Power Up The Purple Pod! But the purple didn’t stop there. Volunteers and concert attendees dressed in purple. Mounds of purple balloons floated in VIP. Purple glow bracelets and bubbles were handed out. Purple beach balls were thrown into the crowd. Purple was everywhere!The Purple Pod will allow Alliance Medical Ministry to:1. Add a Physician to their team2. Add a Nurse to their team3. Decrease patient wait time - which, currently, can take up to 3 months for a new patient to obtain an appointment4. Increase patient base by 1,500 NEW patients5. Increase patient visits each year by 3,000
