INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to request an opportunity to share the Iowa Mission of
Mercy (IMOM) 2016 video of the Clinic held on September 23-24, 2016 at the Five
Flags Center.
BACKGROUND
Since October 2014, City staff had met with Dr. Heyo Tjarks, DDS, regarding Dubuque
hosting the 2016 Iowa Mission of Mercy Clinic, sponsored by the Iowa Dental
Foundation. In September 2015, the City Council was provided information regarding
the necessary requirements for the City to host the Iowa Mission of Mercy (IMOM)
Clinic, along with the presentation by Dr. Tjarks. The City Council approved a budget
improvement package in the FY2017 budget for $13,732.25 to pay for the rental fee
associated with the Five Flags Center. The Clinic was held last September.
DISCUSSION
Besides City staff time coordinating with the Iowa Dental Association IMOM event staff,
the city donated the parking ramp use and meters around Five Flags, along with the use
of two air compressors for two days. The value of these items totaled $1,720. The
clinic treated 919 individual patients for a total of 1,268 patient encounters totaling over
$875,000 worth of dental care. In October of 2016 Dr. Heyo Tjarks came and presented
a full report of the event. The video of the event was just released and showcases not
only the event but the support of the city, volunteers and community. It showcases the
magnitude and impact of the event on the patients as well as all the volunteers and our
community.
ACTION STEP
We respectfully request the City council receive and file the video.
