“What I really like about the Free Clinic of SW Washington is helping folks who would otherwise have to go to the emergency dept if we were not here. Many of these patients have low paying jobs without benefits of any kind so when they get ill or injured they have to make a decision between paying for health care or paying for food and rent. The Free Clinic bridges that gap and lets them continue to pay for other necessities like food and shelter.....” Eric Holden, PA-C, MPA, EMT-P
