Programs: In calendar year 2017, 229 uninsured patients were seen for curative care of medical conditions. Approximately 83 patients were first-time patients to the clinic, and the remaining 146 patients were repeat patients and were included in preventive care programs related to hypertension, diabetes, and obesity including visiting with a certified dietitian and fitness trainer.
