Patient Stories

Here are some stories of patients recently needing help from the Clinic :

A 64 year old man was diagnosed with lung cancer in October. He had no insurance but he wasn’t directed to us until May. We assisted him in finding some help. We are paying for his pain medication, and we will care for him as our dear friend.

A 7 year old boy lost his title XIX because of a paper work snafu. Rules are rules and everyone needs to abide. But this little fellow was not allowed to return to school without his medication. Thanks to Zach and Kim Johnson and “Birdies that Care”, he made it back to school.

A 33 year old man ran into Medicare D issues. He and his lovely wife couldn’t come up with $893.56 a month to purchase his kidney anti-rejection medication. However we could provide the necessary medication. (We have been assured that once “everything” is straightened out we will be re-paid).

A 51 year old woman arrived in severe mental distress. She recently found her husband after he had died suddenly. Her six children are having difficulty coping. Fortunately we can help her to see a doctor and a social worker.
