Free Clinic of Southwest Washington receives $7,000 grant to fund imaging services
The Free Clinic of Southwest Washington in Vancouver, Washingtong, received a $7,000 grant to help fund x-ray and ultrasound services.
The Free Clinic provides free healthcare to low-income adults and children. More than 600 providers volunteer for the clinic, which is funded by donations.
The grant came from the ESCO Foundation, based out of Portland, Oregon, and is expected to help pay for services for approximately 140 of the clinic’s uninsured patients.
“Imaging reassures our patients,” Stephen Ebner, MD, a volunteer orthopedic specialist at the Free Clinic, said in a statement. “Knowledge is powerful. It can relieve worry for people who already face plenty of life challenges.”
