Primary Care Clinic

Presently, H3 provides free medical care at the Bread of Life each Saturday, as well as rotating monthly between the OMI Shelter, El Refugio, CUOC, HAVEN, and Mrs. Wenger’s Restaurant, where a church provides warm dinners. We work with Helping Hand Clinic, our free stationary clinic.

H3 diagnosed and treated numerous patients with uncontrolled hypertension, provided ongoing medications for diabetes and seizure disorders, and resolved many skin and musculoskeletal issues. H3 also referred patients for surgery, dental care, and eye care to local physicians eager to help the homeless. Most importantly, H3 provides care, love, and acceptance to those who don’t receive much, if any, of these at all.

We hold clinics 3-4 times each week. We have no permanent location but go to where those experiencing homelessness can easily locate us. We load our supplies in a pickup truck with several small tables and chairs that can be set up in a parking lot, under a tree, in a food distribution center, or in a center providing help for those experiencing homelessness. In addition, we now have a mobile RV to take where needed.

At each place, a patient can see the doctor. A patient’s vital signs are checked, and a chart is created for first-time patients, complete with HIPPA consent. We currently have four family practice physicians, a nurse practitioner, and several physician assistants who provide care. We have a lab tech and several nurses to round out the team. All work on a volunteer basis.
