WI Area Residents Urged to Call to Schedule Appointments for Massive Free Medical Clinic
MADISON, Wis., July 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Wisconsin area residents without access to health care are urged to call 1-800-340-1301 and register as soon as possible to schedule an appointment at the one-day free health clinic on August 9th.
The clinic will be held at Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, 1919 Alliant Energy Center Way, on Saturday, August 9th, in Madison. Patient appointments will be available between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Patients are encouraged to call 1-800-340-1301 today to schedule an appointment.
"Daily in Wisconsin, over 50 Free and Charitable Clinics continue to serve the state's uninsured and medically underserved. These clinics are seeing a continuously full waiting room, and continue to have to face the harsh reality of not being able to help them all and turning people away," NAFC Executive Director Nicole Lamoureux said. "This clinic in Madison is being held to highlight the great work these clinics are doing everyday while providing medical care, health education and connection to local providers for those that need it most."
The National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC) will sponsor the Clinic in Madison. This free clinic event is not just for the sick but also for anyone who is uninsured or has little to no access to medical care and has not seen a doctor recently. The clinic will offer basic preventive primary medical care (including medical exams, diabetes tests, cholesterol tests, EKGs, pregnancy tests and more), 3 free months of medication, health education, on-site insurance navigators and connection to follow up care and the area's safety net community resources.
Both medical and non-medical volunteers are needed and are encouraged to register now to work at the clinic. Additional information on the clinic, as well on registering to volunteer, is available at: www.nafcclinics.org.
