Free Clinic gets $100,000 boost from
Southwest Washington Medical Center

Southwest Washington Medical Center has provided the Free Clinic of Southwest Washington with a $100,000 grant to help the clinic provide medical services to underserved people with limited financial resources, Joe Pauletto, chairman of the medical center’s Healthier Communities Committee, says.

The Free Clinic, according to its executive director, Dennis Cole, “provides free, compassionate, quality health care to children and adults who otherwise are unable to access such services.”

More than 550 medical, dental and lay volunteers provided service to nearly 15,000 people during 2006, according to Cole. The clinic receives no government funding and does not bill insurance or state health care plans.

Services include basic urgent health care, dental care, health screenings, immunizations, medications and emergency prescription assistance, vision care, school sports physicals and nutrition classes.

The medical center has been a partner with the Free Clinic since it was formed in 1990.
