All of the families of the clinic feel blessed to be given this opportunity to celebrate Easter through the thoughtfulness of Tri Kappa,” said Julie Mallers, nurse practitioner-clinic manager.

Punak said the sorority chose St. Clare for the donation because it values the clinic’s mission and was excited to make Easter “a little brighter for the little ones.” St. Clare, located at 1121 S.
