Today is Giving Tuesday. The day after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we are asked to consider how to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.

Your gift to the Bradley Free Clinic on Giving Tuesday will support our Patient Assistance Fund. Many of our patients face challenges and struggles beyond their health, including issues with transportation, food, and housing. As an active partner in their health, we assist as we are able with a Kroger card, Uber rides, or assistance with daily living issues.

Please help us continue to support our patients with your generous gift.
