"I'M SO THANKFUL!"

Hector
Because of your generosity, neighbors like Hector can receive the care they need to stay healthy.
Out of work, with a wife and two kids to support, Hector had plenty of worries. But when he came to our Free Medical/Dental Clinic, his only complaint was of a strained back. He believed that generally, he was in good health.

He would soon learn he had a much more serious health issue.

When the nurse checked Hector's vital signs, she discovered that his blood sugar was very high. Blood tests were ordered, and the results confirmed what had been feared - Hector had diabetes.

At first, Hector felt overwhelmed. But with the care he received, he realized he could manage his condition. He was given the medication he needed, and also provided with education, in his own language. He was shown how to monitor his blood sugar levels, adhere to a healthy diet, stop smoking and deal with the stress of living with a chronic disease.

"I'm so thankful to the clinic," Hector says. "I'm. thankful that the doctors and nurses took the time to help me, and after the loving care I received, I feel better both physically and emotionally."

This level of high-quality care is standard for everyone who comes to our Free Medical/Dental Clinic. The Medical Clinic provides medical assessments, simple blood tests, health education and medications, and commonly treats such ailments as bronchitis, infections, hypertension, diabetes, skin diseases, high cholesterol, and more. The Dental Clinic offers comprehensive dental care, including the emergency treatment of toothaches.

Through your support, donors like you first opened our clinic's doors - and you continue to keep them open to serve those in need throughout our community. Thank you! ยป
