 The mission of FernCare is to provide no-cost medical care to the medically uninsured or under-insured residents of the area. The purpose is limited to those activities that are permissible for a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization as specified by the Internal Revenue Code. The clinic will treat persons from 18 through 64 years of age. It will provide maintenance care of chronic illness, do checkups, diagnose and treat acute day-to-day illness, dispense generic medications, and make specialist referrals including dental care. STDs will be referred to the county health department. The pharmacy will not stock any controlled or psychotropic drugs or narcotics of any sort. Ob/gyn care will be referred. BUT we can’t hope to offer this needed service without volunteers. All free clinics are staffed by people who volunteer. There are state and Federal government legal protections for medical staff that volunteer. The clinic we envision would probably be open once or twice a week to start - a few hours two evening a week,one night for the medical clinic, one night for the mental health clinic. |
