Our GoalThe goal of the Free Clinic of Merdian is to provide healthcare to as many patients as possible that are uninsured. The clinic works hard to deliver free quality medical services to everyone who qualifies. The staff and volunteers at the Free Clinic of Meridian act with compassion and dignity to ensure that patients feel comfortable and know they are receiving the best care possible. Survey ResultsThe Free Clinic of Meridian conducted an anonymous survey to show the average amount of visits to the Emergency Room from our patients before and after becoming a patient of the Free Clinic of Meridian. The survey showed a large increase in patients who completely stopped going to the Emergency Room and a decline across the board in the total number of Emergency Room visits. One of the clinic's goals is to provide free medical care to patients as an alternative to going to the Emergency room and hope to see the number of visits continue to decrease over time. |
