Review for Essential Health Clinic, Hillsboro, OR, USA
I've worked in many volunteer clinics, having started one myself while in med school in the 70's. Essential has a superb quality I've not seen before--which is a referral coordinator who works during clinic hours and behind the scenes to get follow-up for patients. The main limitation of most volunteer clinics is the inability to give more than a one-night-stand type of care. Essential is able to find continuity of care for the many patients with chronic illness who come in for refills, or checks--but need far more. Essential has also worked with other community clinics so that most patients can leave with assurance they will get at least a generic of the meds they need. All-in-all---a First Class clinic!
