Clinic Memberships — A Good Idea

By Mimi Newsham

Historical February 1978 People’s Clinic reporting. Original services, student placements and fees describe that period, not current medical guidance or availability.

We’d like each and every neighborhood resident to be a member of the People’s Clinic. You don’t even have to get sick to be a member! All you have to do is send your name, address, phone number, and $3 to People’s Clinic, 6010 Kingsbury, 63112. Or send $5 and we’ll make everybody in your household a member.

Maybe you had one last year and you didn’t use it. Well, congratulations on being so healthy, and we thank you for your support. “We” include your friends and neighbors who used the clinic nearly 1500 times last year! That service was made possible by the members, volunteers, and contributors. Members elect the governing board (the Community Health Council), and have an opportunity for direct input at the general meetings.

Besides treatment and referral for medical problems, the clinic offers several screening services. Some examples are blood pressure checks, cancer screening, and just regular physicals. All special screening programs and other points of interest are announced in the Bulletin which is mailed to all members. Pleae act now to help ensure the continued availability of these services.

Congratulations & Good Luck!
