Clinic Night

On a typical Tuesday evening at St. Peter’s Free Clinic, the following patients may be seen. Sue, who has a cough and fever, is worried about losing her job if she calls in sick, but she has no health insurance. Lynn is a 50 year old widow, who has been having heart problems since before her husband died, and now has no health insurance. And, Jim, who due to multiple health problems, has recently lost his job and along with it his health insurance. He has no idea where to go for help. While he was at the Clinic he not only received health care and medications, but was given a list of community resources to help him access other needed services and a small box of food to feed him that night. As he left he summed up the sentiment that is often heard by the volunteers at the Clinic, “Thank you so much for being here when I needed you. You were an answer to my prayers."
