I have volunteered for this organization since it was founded in 1999 and I have nothing but positive things to say. Dr. Portier puts her heart and soul into great patient care. Her staff are kind and caring. The ladies on the Board of Directors work hard and their dedication comes from the heart. They give free and discounted visits if you don't have insurance or if your insurance won't cover the whole cost of a visit and they are quick to give sample medicines to save the cost of a prescription for anybody who can't afford the medicine they need. And, they built a new half of the health center to rent out to other organizations and they brought a cancer treatment center to Emmitsburg. Now, families don't have to drive so far to get the care they need.
