Recently a female patient in her 50s brought a large fruit basket to the clinic staff as a token of thanks. Her note stated, “Thank you all for being a blessing in my days of sticky situations. I am forever grateful.” Before finding the clinic, she had turned to the emergency room in a diabetes crisis, and was admitted into the hospital for treatment. The hospital discharged her with a long list of medications that she couldn’t afford. She also did not have a primary care provider for follow up care. Her aunt brought her
to the clinic for her first visit. In her exam with the Nurse practitioner, she presented the list of medications she had received from the hospital. The Nurse Practitioner calmed her fears and told her that she would get diagnostic tests and a new evaluation for her prescriptions. Because of a grant from the Joel R. Anderson Family Foundation, her lab tests were free, and she was given insulin, test strips and a meter to test her blood sugar levels during her recovery. Affordable medications were found for
her, and the patient’s blood sugar levels were stabilized and under control within 3 months. The patient told the Clinic Manager that when she was in the hospital, she felt that she was going to die, but after becoming a regular patient at the clinic she now feels hopeful and normal again, and is ready to get on with her life. The clinic is able to provide this level of free and low cost service to this patient due to assistance through The Joel R. Anderson Family Foundation that supports the clinic’s Diabetes
Assistance Project.
