Alive Today Thanks to our Free Clinic
It's a true story.

Jeanine had been having a hard time breathing and couldn't walk short distances without fatigue. Her legs were swollen. As a teacher unable to afford medical coverage due to providing for the needs of her immediate and extended family, she thought about going to see a doctor but had been turned away in the past due to her lack of medical coverage.

Jeanine's sister recommended that she call our PCM Free Medical Clinic; so on December 11th, Jeanine did call and describe her symptoms to one of our nurses. She was advised to come in right away and after being examined, was sent directly to the hospital for tests. Clinic staff helped get her admitted into a local hospital as a hardship case. Tests revealed that Jeanine had pulmonary heart failure, extremely high blood pressure, and previously undiagnosed diabetes. She spent 5 days in the hospital and was told that if she had not come in she would have died.

Upon discharge from the hospital, staff at PCM Free Medical Clinic were contacted to see if we would provide her after-care. Of course we are and will continue to.

Jeanine shared with us that she received very good care at the clinic. The staff was warm and made her feel like she was important. She attributes the clinic to her still being alive.

"Thank God for you guys," said Jeanine. "I can go to you guys when I'm not feeling well. I'm not worried now because I know there's a place I can go. There are a lot of people like me out there that need to go to the doctor but don't know where to go."

Jeanine wants to get the word out, and so do we.
