A new bench symbolizing the large gift from the estate of the late Robert Ford Dale to the Good Samaritan Clinic.
FOR THE PAPERGood Samaritan Clinic of Morganton will host a ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 24, to dedicate a bench in honor of the late Robert Ford Dale, a Morganton native and local business owner whose estate awarded the clinic a gift of $158,591.95.
The event will be held by the clinic’s board of directors at the clinic, which is located at 500 E. Parker Road, Morganton. The event will begin at 4 p.m. and the public is invited to attend.
“By leaving a legacy through his estate gift, Robert Dale has ensured that the health and well-being of those in need will continue to be supported for generations to come,” said Amy Eades Fisher, executive director of Good Samaritan Clinic.
“His compassion today is leaving a lasting gift, empowering our clinic to provide free, quality care to the underserved in our community. We are so appreciative of him for helping us continue in this life-saving mission,” Fisher said
Dale, who passed away in March 2022, was a lifelong Morganton resident and the owner of Dale’s Antiques. Good Samaritan Clinic is one of 10 organizations to receive gifts from Dale’s estate with his instructions to use the bequests in Burke County to benefit the people of Burke County.
Good Samaritan Clinic is one of 69 community-based, volunteer-driven free and charitable clinics that belong to a statewide health-care network operating independently under the umbrella of the North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics.
Together, the clinics provide low-cost or no-cost health care to residents in 84 of the state’s 100 counties.
