When disaster strikes, government response is often slow leaving victims without help for days. Community preparedness and response is vital. This is an introductory workshop that will provide learning and preparedness resources and suggestions for further education. We will share important stories from our trip to Haiti.

West Shore Film Series to host Michael Moore’s “SiCKO”

The words "health care" and "comedy" aren't usually found in the same sentence, but in Academy Award winning filmmaker Michael Moore's movie 'SiCKO,' they go together hand in (rubber) glove.

'SiCKO' is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for basic health coverage.

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.
