Most health care facilities see the uninsured as a liability they can do without, so they are discarded by the thousands. But we at The Free Clinic see them as friends, family and neighbors and we do whatever we can to help. Because sudden layoffs happen. Because unexpected illnesses happen. So now the woman with flu symptoms can go to the doctor. The man with depression can receive counseling and treatment. The elderly widow down the street can get her medications. And that’s something special to hold on to.
