Free Medical Clinic on May 1

Filed under Events and Activities
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 30 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: May 1, Jun 5, and Jul 3.

Not Your Grandma’s Jesus

Join us as we begin a new message series, entitled: “Not Your Grandma’s Jesus.” This will sort of be like a “blast from the past” (a term that DJ’s used to use when they wanted to introduce a song, on the radio, as being a “golden oldie” or a song from “yesterday,”,or “a blast from the past”). Oh, those memories…those were the days (or so we thought…).
Sometimes our “pictures,” our memories, become fuzzy, clouded, or faded. In the days before digital photography the life-span of a picture depended upon the quality of the chemicals used for developing, the paper on which it was printed, and the camera with which the photo was taken with. Pictures varied in contrast, clarity, and color. It all depended…
What’s your picture of Jesus look like? How clear is it? How accurate are “the actual colors”? Has your picture of Jesus begun to fade? Are you really seeing His true portrait, His true self, His true colors? Or, are you relying on “a blast from the past”?
Join us as we gently open the pages of Scripture and slowly, but carefully, look at the actual pictures of Jesus. The pictures you see may look entirely different than the ones your gramdma saw! See for yourself…
