The four major service clubs of Modesto have collaborated for months with the Salvation Army to develop a free health clinic. The facility at 9th and D streets in Modesto was official open on May 11, 2011. The clinist joins others that care for the homeless, such as the Modesto Gospel mission.
The clinic will start off slowly, providing eye exams to the 40 men and women who live in the shelter's transitional living program. The clinic should have all of its services available to the homeless when the winter shelter opens on Nov. 1.
"Organizers believe it is the first time the Rotarians, Lions, Kiwanians, and Soroptimists have worked together on a Modesto-area project. Work started in September, and service club members did the grunt work to build the clinic." - The Modesto Bee.
The volunteer-staffed clinic consists of four exam rooms. Each service club is taking charge of a room:
- The Rotarians are responsible for the dental room.
- The Lions are running the eye clinic.
- The Kiwanians are responsible for the medical clinic.
- The Soroptimists are overseeing the womens clinic.
