Free Clinic receives money for immunization program

Bagley Downs — The Free Clinic of Southwest Washington received $2,083 from Group Health Foundation to support the clinic’s immunization program for children and adults. In 2017, the Free Clinic’s immunization program served more than 870 uninsured children and adults in Southwest Washington. The program helps save patients’ lives and protects others in schools and elsewhere by limiting the spread of infectious diseases. “Through the immunization program, our volunteers provide essential care to improve health and enhance the quality of life for our patients,” Barbe West, executive director of the Free Clinic, said in a release.
