Wonderful story in the Ellsworth American on the 30th anniversary of the Ellsworth Free Medical Clinic

The clinic is run as if it is a regular doctor’s office, only there is no cost to the patients who receive care there.

10/01/2022

For the last 30 years the volunteers and staff of the Free Clinic have been ensuring that the healthcare needs of our neighbors are being met regardless of their financial status. If you're in the area today (Saturday, 10/1), we invite everyone to stop by our 30th anniversary celebration between 1 and 3p at the clinic in the Mill Mall.

Due to unprecedented job loss in our community due to COVID-19, the Free Clinic anticipates a surge in uninsured and underinsured patients in need of primary care in the coming months.

There is a critical need at the Free Clinic, and for many other local healthcare providers, for N95, R95 or better facemasks and/or respirators. If you have any you feel you can part with (even if it's just 1 or 2), I would urge you to either donate them to your own healthcare providers or to the Free Clinic. If the Free Clinic happens to receive enough to meet our needs, we will be sharing them with other local healthcare providers ourselves. If you have any you would like to donate, please message the clinic and we'll make arrangements to either pick them up or have you drop them off. Thanks very much.

Well, it’s flu season again. There’s a higher than usual incidence in some states, but not yet here in Maine. Last year there were 10,000 cases of influenza in Maine, and 45 deaths (including a 3 year old).  A more severe year is projected by the Maine CDC.
