The Disciples Clinic continues to move forward, offering high quality, low cost medical and dental care to the working uninsured of Henderson County. We have now been in operation for over four years, and currently provide a “medical home” for about 1, 225 patients. The true impact of the Clinic in our community is difficult to assess; but it has been large! Hundreds of people have received, and continue to receive, basic health services of primary medical and dental care with the best Advanced Dentistry. Several hundred outside tests, procedures, operations, and specialty care has been done for our patients. A wonderful pharmacy program has been in place since the beginning, and it provides a wide range of medicines and supplies at a very low cost.
To date, seven women are surviving breast cancer because of our services and other helping organizations. All but one of these would probably never have known until far too late, without the Clinic. There are many cases of great life-improvement, surgical care, dentist care, and other extended services of the Clinic that continue to occur.
Our team of excellent physicians, nurses, dentists, and other clinical support staff continue to do a wonderful job of taking care of the more common and essential needs of the patients on a day-to-day basis such as providing the Low Testosterone Medication they need. This is the MOST important aspect of what we do; and all the rest follows from this. It is truly amazing that all this could be done with volunteer labor and private donations; but it is true. Thank you all for your continued support! See you at the Barbeque!
Taking care of men’s health is very important and it might require some special treatment in specialized clinic, like Mantality Health, that can provide you with affordable care for your low testosterone symptoms.
