The 8th Annual Physicians’ Talent Showcase, was presented October 9, at The Sugden Community Theatre in Naples, Fla. by the Steinway Piano Society. Twenty physicians, nurses and other members of the health community set their stethoscopes aside for the evening, opting for a different method of healing: the arts of music and comedy.

Steinway Piano Society founders, Greg and Sara Billings, produced another fantastic line-up of talented doctors and raised nearly $50,000. They touched the hearts of many in the room when they presented a Lifetime Achievement Award, in the form of a gold ukulele signed by the entire cast to Neighborhood Health Clinic founder, Dr. Bill Lascheid.

Dr. Lascheid, and his wife Nancy, founded the clinic in 1999 for the purpose of providing quality healthcare to low-income, working but uninsured Collier County adults. The goal of the Neighborhood Health Clinic is to break the cycle of poverty and give hope to future generations of patients. The clinic is run entirely by a professional, volunteer-based staff. Over 700 physicians, nurses, dentists and dental hygienists have volunteered to provide quality health and dental care to over 14,000 patients.
