break table across pages but keep the control under it on first page

I am trying to create appointment reminder letters, and at the bottom
of the first page of each letter I need the clinic contact information
(phone number and name). Immediately prior to this I must list various
instructions regarding what to bring, what to eat/not eat beforehand,
etc.
Regardless of the length of the list of instructions I still need the
clinic contact information to render at the bottom of the 1st page of
every letter, even if the list of instructions has to continue on to
page 2.
When I create a table footer it only appears on the 1st page of the 1st
child's letter, while the other several hundred letters get no footer.
(surely this can be done in one .PDF instead of a subscription to
create several hundred separate .PDFs?)
Here's what I need for each child:
|Page 1|
<Patient address, etc.>
<Schedule of appointments for the day>
<List of instructions>
<Clinic CONTACT INFO> <--bottom of 1st page of EVERY letter
|Page 1|
|Page 2|
<any remaining items from the list of instructions above>
<rest of my report requirements here...>
Any suggestions on how to do this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

only print on the first page.
If you have multiple items in the footer--some for page 1 and some for page
2, you will have to set the visibility in a formula.

every letter except for the very last page of the last kid's letter.
For example, I have:
<PAGE 1>
Bob Jones
1233 Jones Street
Allergy Clinic 9:00
Dental Clinic 10:30
Don't forget:
* Please don't eat Oreos before you dental appointment
* Don't pet tigers
Clinic contact info (this is in a the footer because it MUST be at the
bottom of the 1st page and only the 1st page of each kid's letter).
<PAGE 2>
Continuation of the "Don't Forget" list from page 2
Image of map for the particular clinic(s)
Clinic contact info footer is repeating here and I DON'T want this
repeated within the SAME letter.
PAGE 3 (Start of the next letter)
Jon Smith
111 1st Street
Allergy Clinic 9:30
Orthopedic Clinic 11:00
Don't forget:
* Please don't jump off of buildings
* Still don't pet tigers
Clinic contact information (as expected)
<PAGE 2>
Continuation of "Don't Forget" stuff here if it is long enough to
stretch to page 2
Clinic contact information footer repeated again but I don't want it
repeated.
..........
I don't know what to do but I just want the clinic contact info at the
bottom of only the 1st page of each letter.
Unfortunately, a single letter's isn't guaranteed to be 2 pages,
either, so I'm not sure I can come up with a formula for hiding the
footer on every page but the 1st for each kid...
