PITTSTON, LUZERNE COUNTY-The "Care and Concern Free Health Clinic" is now open for business.
Located in the former Seton Catholic High School in Pittston the clinic is open to the public on Wednesday nights beginning at 5:30.
The volunteer staff of doctors, nurses, social workers help those in need of medical services who are unable to afford them. They will not turn anyone away.
WBRE-TV News was there Wednesday night as Doctor John Callahan was on duty
Anne Coco who helps run this free clinic say.. there is a definite need for this type of service in the area. "A lot of people come n because they are not eligible because they fall between the cracks maybe just for a few dollars....so we serve the working poor"
Deacon Jim Cortegerone is welcoming more volunteers to come and help out.
"We have two or three but could use another five to make the work a lot easier for those who are volunteering already."
If you have experience and would like to volunteer your services -- stop by the clinic on a Wednesday night or call (570) 654-0053. | |
