There was 98,218 that was distributed to our primary care provider development initiatives that supported internship opportunities for graduate and undergraduate healthcare students, as well as conference attendance, retreats, and a speaker's series. Each of these opportunities was designed to educate and inspire medical and pre-med students to choose primary care, internal medicine, and charitable care as their specialty. The value of capacity building initiatives totaled 5,760 and included in-kind gifts of consulting, training, workshops, and presentations. Additionally, a total of 3,770 funded events that helped local non-profit organizations identify potential community members interested in serving as a volunteer, committee member, or board member of their organization.

the second program butterfield conducts is the operation of open arms clinc (oac). The charitable clinic was founded in 1993 and is a joint effort among butterfield, the free methodist church, and the oklahoma county medical society. Operating as oac, healthcare services were provided to the medically vulnerable, low income, and uninsured people in a patient- centered medical home environment. Patients were provided primary care visits, as well as on-site specialty care services in rheumatology, urology, and gynecology. Patient education is provided in nutrition and chronic disease management, such as diabetes and heart disease, which is prevalent among the socio-economically disadvantaged demographic within oac's patient population. In 2017, the clinic provided 6,234 patient visits for the year (average of 519 visits per month) to 2,117 individuals who would otherwise have no access to medical care. There were 888 patients that were provided over 3,250 prescriptions from oac's fully licensed charitable pharmacy, and 521 patients received enrollment support and prescriptions through pharmaceutical patient assistance programs (paps), which provided over 3. 8 million dollars in medications to oac patients. In addition, oac received 641,919 in charitable donated lab fees from dlo. The operation of the clinic is very much a community collaboration with lab, radiology, diagnostic services, such as mammograms, colonoscopies, as well as other specialty care services accessed for oac patients through local specialty providers, as well as through a partnership with the charitable community referral network operated by the health alliance for the uninsured and through charitable support services received from independent physicians and health systems. Open arms clinic also hosted three city-wide super saturday for women health event clinics in collaboration with the health alliance for the uninsured in which 122 women were seen. Volunteer support comes from oklahoma county medical society physicians, residents from two family practice medical residency programs, students from three local nursing schools, pre-med students from three state universities, physician assistant students from two local university pa programs and medical students from the university of oklahoma. There are also other community volunteers that serve in a variety of support roles within the clinic. In 2017, the open arms clinic received 4,147 hours of service from 130 volunteers. Of the 4,147 hours, 319 of them were donated by 43 medical providers. The estimated value of this volunteer time is 91,566. The total value of all donated medications, charitable medications, lab and charitable services provided to oac patients in 2017 was over 4,4 million.
