Who We Serve

In January, 52-year-old Grace walked into The Clinics hoping to become a patient in search of relief from ongoing medical issues – what she found was relief much greater. During her social needs assessment, as a part of The Clinics application process, the Social Needs Coordinator became aware that she needed immediate help with food insecurities. Through The Clinics partnerships and the use of Unite Us, a referral was sent to a partnering agency with urgency. The very next day, Grace was able to receive emergency food from a local food pantry and apply some relief to one part of her daily struggle.

Miranda is a beautiful success story. She became a patient of the Clinics in 2020 after experiencing the tragic loss of her husband and parents within six weeks of each other. She entered the doors to The Clinics with anger, sadness, and uncertainty, and it showed in her first few visits. After coming to terms with her situational needs, Miranda began to truly understand that the staff and volunteers of The Clinics were there to help her along her journey. “Everyone was there for me, and that is what The Clinics are about.” Having filled the healthcare gap until she was able to obtain insurance of her own, Miranda will no longer need to remain a patient of Good News Clinics.
