In Memoriam ~ Ninalei Bader Poore
For memorial donation information:
Ninalei Bader Poore peacefully passed away on November 13th, 2022, surrounded by her family and her beloved cat, Tita. Her life spanned a transformative time for women, and in her 92 years she devoted herself to the ever-growing demands of education, career, family, community, and to thousands of people in need. The end result: a life shaped by love and punctuated by interludes of adventure, service, and drama worthy of a screenplay.
She frequently boasted that her greatest joy in life was being the mother of seven children; Beth, Matt, Amy, Mary Jo, Meg, Sara and Sam and the grandmother of 14 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her grandson Blake Henry Herman and her husband Dr. Henry Wayne Poore. Nina leaves an immense legacy of love, family, and service.

Dentists Needed!
Does your Flagstaff dentist volunteer at our Sid Davis, DDS Memorial Dental Clinic?
We currently have a backlog of six months for our patients waiting to see a dentist for primary dental care. There are 72 dentists in Flagstaff and eight of these wonderful professionals volunteer to see patients at our dental clinic.
Please ask your dentist whether she/he also volunteers to see patients at our dental clinic. If the answer is yes, please say Thank You on behalf of our grateful patients. If the answer is no, please ask them Why Not? A dentist volunteering even one half of one day in a month will help us provide professional dental care to people in need.
Thank you!!!!

So long as a spark remains, a fire can start.
At 80 years old, when most people sit back to watch the world go by, Dr. Henry Wayne Poore and his wife Nina stood up and organized Flagstaff’s first wholly free Medical Clinic. The opening of the clinic in 2011 culminated a life of service and community—one that touched the lives of thousands of Arizonans and took him and Nina to Kenya, Honduras, Alaska, Mexico, the Navajo Nation, and the shattered aftermath of Katrina.
Some people derive joy from their work. Henry Wayne Poore did more than that—he wove joy into his work every day. For thousands of patients and hundreds of friends, a visit with Dr. Poore included humor, music, or stories. He healed bodies and uplifted souls.
The spark is not extinguished. It is merely passed on—to you. We hope you will continue Dr. Poore’s efforts to deliver the care that’s needed, woven with the joys life requires.
