Free Medical Clinic on April 3
March 4, 2010 by Bill Scharffenberg
Our free medical clinic is available to anyone with no health insurance or who cannot afford treatment. If you have insurance, please use it so that this free clinic can be for people who have no other access to a doctor.
Are you worried a lingering sore throat might be strep throat? Are you diabetic and need help getting your blood sugar under control? Are you worried about cholesterole? Do you need a prescription refill to take to the pharmacy? Our medical staff will see patients 5 years old and up, and can help you with these types of basic medical care.
Quality medical care is provided for people who need it. Friendly volunteers will greet you and help with the medical history form. All of our clinic staff maintain the strictest standards for keeping medical records confidential between you and the doctor that will treat you. Spanish translation is also available when necessary.
This month we have two health care providers for the clinic. This means we will be able to register 70 patients to be seen. Additional patients will be accepted at the end of the day if there is time available. We are sorry to limit the number of patients the doctors see, but we also want to provide quality care and that takes time. We hope you understand.
Natomas Crossroads Clinic is partially funded by the genrosity of the Kaiser Permanente Community Grants Benefit Program of Northern California Region-Sacramento Valley Area. We also have received partial funding from Catholic Healthcare West in Sacramento.
If you have any questions about the clinic you can reach one of our staff by calling 916-514-6163 or sending an email message to nccfree(a)gmail.com. The staff can provide detailed information about the type of care provided at the clinic.
This is a recurring event that happens the first Saturday of each month from 1:00 to 6:00 pm. The next several events will be: Apr 3, May 1, and Jun 5.
