Kim’s Corner
Kim’s Corner: A Boutique for AlphaCare Clients
AlphaCare is preparing to open Kim’s Corner, a new boutique located across the street from our Lancaster Avenue clinic at 3826 Lancaster Avenue. The boutique is named after Kim Bennett who worked faithfully as a nurse and program director for over 30 years.
This beautiful new space will allow AlphaCare clients to “shop” for maternity and baby essentials in a comfortable, safe, and dignified environment. Every item in the boutique will be provided free of charge to AlphaCare clients.
Kim’s Corner will allow AlphaCare to offer practical support to women and families in a more thoughtfully designed and beautiful space, with items such as baby clothes, diapers, wipes, strollers, car seats, maternity clothing, and other essentials. As always, these items will be provided through generous donations of supplies and gifts that help AlphaCare to purchase needed items.
This long-hoped-for space is more than a place to receive supplies. It is an extension of AlphaCare’s mission to offer compassionate, professional care that honors the inherent value of every woman and family we serve.
