St. Rita’s MED-CARE
Health Clinic provides families with no health insurance, no family doctor
and limited incomes the healthcare services they need.
While
the original intent of the clinic was to link the underserved residents
of our community with basic healthcare, it has since evolved to include
educating residents on how to make healthy lifestyle choices. Our doctors
and nurses teach patients how to eat right and exercise, make sure they
know the importance of getting regular checkups and taking their medication
and link them to social and financial counselors. Our caring staff ensures
those patients who cannot afford their prescriptions are getting the medications
they need to manage their chronic health conditions. MED-CARE also offers
a weight reduction clinic, smoking cessation programs, asthma management
and an immunization program for children.
In 2002, patients saw our doctors and nurses nearly 11,000 times for routine
examinations, screenings, counseling and health information. Before the
clinic, these residents often went without any medical care at all. |
