The People’s Clinic, at 6010 Kingsbury, is the recipient of a 20,795 dollar grant from Bi-State Regional Medical Program. The grant will finance the expansion of health care services to residents of the Skinker-DeBaliviere and Loop communities.
Expanded services will include the opening of a daytime clinic session every Wednesday or Thursday. Shuttle-bus transportation for older adults will be provided between their homes and the Clinic. The day clinic will be in operation by this December. In addition, at least one “Outpost” Clinic will be opened at one of our local senior centers, by the middle of January. The “Outpost” Clinic, staffed by volunteer health workers, will be set up once or twice each month, and will screen for hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic disorders.
