Historical April 1977 People’s Clinic reporting. Health claims, staffing, fees and service details describe the original period, not current medical guidance.
Everybody and his brother has a Help Wanted Department. Right? Well the one at the People’s Clinic has three divisions.
The first is the Single Occasion Division. This month’s occassion is SPRING CLEANING the clinic. Saturday, April 16, is the day. We’ll start at 11:00 A.M. and go until 3:00 P.M., or whenever. Bring a picnic lunch, mop, broom, rag, and yourself. Especially, and most importantly, yourself.
The second division is for some REGULAR DAYTIME HELP. As of the first of this month we no longer have the Manpower workers on our staff who have been doing much of this work. We need PECOS workers and office help. PECOS is an outpost screening program for elderly residents of the neighborhood. Blood pressures, temperatures, etc. are taken. (if you don’t know how to do these, we’ll train you.) The hours are 12:30-3:30 one day every other week at either of two locations. U. City Senior Center on Delmar or Urban West Senior Center at 5370 Pershing. (Hours may be varied by arrangement.) Hours for the office work are even more flexible. We need to cover two to four hours three days a week to process charts. Typing is NOT necessary (though helpful). Knowledge of the alphabet is essential.
Finally, we still need EVENING HELP. Are there any doctors, nurses, interns, pharmacy workers or lab workers out there? If so, or if any one else is interested in working with the clinic, please call us any weekday between 10 A.M. and 5 P.M., or Monday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings. The number is 721-5577.
