…..in 2011, the People’s Health Clinic continued to make our community healthier.
By the end of this week. our staff and volunteers will have had 8,400 visits with patients, many of whom would otherwise not have seen a doctor. This represents a 23% increase over last year, very similar to our growth rates over the past 5 years. As we say each year, we’re glad more and more people are finding us.
Medical partnerships have increased, like the Clinic’s inclusion in Intermountain Health Care’s voucher program providing affordable diagnostic testing to low-income patients.
Expanded vision services have become a reality –
with monthly visits by Eye Care 4 Kids mobile vision unit. Now local teachers have an affordable place to refer those kids who really need glasses.
New and veteran volunteers in an expanding number of specialties mean primary care docs can refer patients “in-house” for needs such as mental health counseling, physical therapy, and dermatology.
Thanks, and happy New Year!
