00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.199
Eagles, Arnold Bore and Niecamp Funeral
Home and Tall Grass Motors. Thank you

6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.600
very much, appreciate that we also
have that Jennie Shippie in here. And

7
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.399
you're the executive director of Family Healthcare
Clinic. How are you doing today?

8
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.320
I'm doing great. Thank you.
You got a smile on your face that

9
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.520
is just about to bust the room
wide open. You must be happy about

10
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.359
something. I am. I'm very
happy about something. I just wanted to

11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:53.240
announce to the Bartlesville community that our
clinic just got approved for Medicare. Wow.

12
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.280
We that is something to celebrate.
It is we just got our approval

13
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:03.240
finally on Friday. We receive the
official notification on Friday. So as of

14
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.719
today, we are accepting Medicare patients
at our clinic. So if you want

15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.079
to come to our clinic and have
Medicare, our number is nine one,

16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.200
eight three three six for eight two
two and you can call our clinic and

17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.959
make an appointment. Now, this
is great. This is a group that's

18
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.560
somewhat underserved in a lot of areas, especially and it's correct. We serve

19
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.319
the uninsured and underinsured and the homeless
population in the Bartleville and Washington County.

20
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.959
And this is right there by the
big old water, that's correct. Eighteen

21
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.120
twenty West Tensleyborg excuse me, Boulevard. Yeah, you can't miss it.

22
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.480
It's right out there on the west
side of town. And it's a right

23
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.480
there underneath a landmark. And so
it's really easy to find. Folks that

24
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.560
you don't really need a map,
you just need a little bit of eyesight

25
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.680
and you'll be there. So this
is great. This is going to open

26
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.560
the door for a lot of people
to get some much deserved care that they've

27
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.959
been maybe a bit reluctant to go
and seek. Right. In fact,

28
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.519
our clinic is open four days a
week, Monday through Friday from eight to

29
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.280
four. We're closed on Fridays.
But anyway, we have a provider there.

30
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.680
Her name is Jennifer Connach. She's
a nurse practitioner. And anyway,

31
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.560
we are, like I said,
we're open four days a week and we're

32
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.919
happy to see you. And if
you do not have insurance, we do

33
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.080
offer a self paid program that's based
on your income. Oh wow, you

34
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.840
just got all kinds of different ways
in order for people to access the healthcare

35
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.240
they deserve. Yes, we do. That is so wonderful in order to

36
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.120
make some of these miracles work.
We've got a big event coming up here.

37
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.120
Yes, we do. Tell us
about it. It's a big annual

38
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.879
event for the folks who haven't been
here for very long. This is a

39
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.039
biggie. Yes. Every year,
the clinic sponsors a mouth from Ambigram program.

40
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.319
It's the five K two K race. It's going to happen on September

41
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.680
twenty eight, twenty twenty four,
and it's that it starts out at Unity

42
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:06.759
Square And if anyone in the community
is interested in participating in our committee.

43
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.879
Again, the number for our clinic
is nine point eight three three six for

44
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.439
A two two. The person is
Candy Kirchner. She's our office manager at

45
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:22.800
our clinic. And the honorary chairman
for this event is Emily Sanchez. Nice.

46
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.680
This is going to be great.
You know. This is one of

47
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.840
the events that a lot of participants
look forward you each and every year.

48
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.039
And it's also a great one that
the community rallies around as well. Yes,

49
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.800
and we have a Facebook page.
It's the mouth for mamor gram twenty

50
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.080
twenty four five K two K race
and you can hit there's a link on

51
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.560
there that you can go to that
page and go to the link and hit

52
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.280
on the link and it'll bring up
all you can register off of that link.

53
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.319
That's stat easy. Huh, Yes, sir, that is correct,

54
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.800
man. I can even do that
if I was so inclined to run,

55
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.520
I'll just cheer people on and give
them money. How's that there you go.

56
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.080
We do take donations if you'd like
to do that. I'd like to

57
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.680
do that. That's fine because running
into me we eat close cousins anymore.

58
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.639
Anyway, we welcome volunteers if you
want a volunteer to assist with us at

59
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.720
that race and so anyway, we
just call that number and you'll find a

60
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.240
spot for us to volunteer. Yes, sir, we welcome volunteers. Oh,

61
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.199
that is amazing. You know what
your clinic is, great family healthcare

62
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.920
clinic right there on the west side
of town, right there underneath the big

63
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.920
water tower. You can't miss.
It has really been a go to your

64
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.120
resource for a lot of people,
a lot of folks who might not know

65
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:43.160
too much about where to go or
what you know, medical visitors are all

66
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:48.240
about because sometimes it's generational and this
is a great way to kind of open

67
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.040
the door, so to speak to
a new way of thinking. It is

68
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.800
and one of the things we'd like
to I'd like to discuss about this is,

69
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.920
you know, the Mouse from Mammogram
program is to raise breast cancer awareness

70
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.839
in our community. And how we
do this is we raise funds to give

71
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:11.800
people qu pons to go have a
mammogram at the local hospital here. It

72
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.279
used to be Jane Phillips Medical Center, but now it's Ascension and they can

73
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.959
go there and get They come to
our clinic and have a breast exam and

74
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.720
then we give them a cupon and
they go there to Ascension Medical Center and

75
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.000
they have that mammogram at no cost
to them. Now, you got to

76
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.079
remember this isn't just female only.
That's exactly right. There are men who

77
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.360
have breast cancer as well. That's
exactly right. It's an equal opportunity offender.

78
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.839
That's yes, that is correct.
And we would like to eliminate this

79
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.959
offender in due time. So this
is a great way to get a good

80
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:54.399
start on it. And if you
you know someone who may run the risk

81
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.240
of that because of the family and
things like that, it's always a good

82
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.800
thing that runs in your family.
Get it checked. That's exactly right.

83
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.800
Breast cancer is non discriminatory. Sometimes
it can be genetic hereditary. But you

84
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:15.800
know, we can't I can't stress
enough that women, especially bodies get come

85
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:20.439
into the office breast exam and also
we teach women how to do breast exams

86
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:25.480
and men you have to do at
least that. Yeah, at least get

87
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.199
that going there. So because the
early detection means a better chance of a

88
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.879
better outcome. That's correct. That
is very true. And this is what

89
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.720
Miles from Mammlegram is all about.
Awareness and getting you checked and making sure

90
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.560
that you know you get what you
need as far as getting ahead of this.

91
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.680
And you know, we're starting a
program with the Washington County Health Department.

92
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.079
A volunteer and a nurse by the
name of Virginia is going to come

93
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.920
to our clinic once a month and
she's going to help women and other members

94
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.920
in our community fill out forms to
get medicaid or other forms of assistant assistance

95
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.439
in the community. And she's going
to be there once a month and so

96
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.199
we're we haven't had set the official
date of when that's going to happen,

97
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.800
but we're going to offer those resources
to the other members in our community.

98
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.879
Nice. Another project that we're working
on is I've been talking with mister mcphil

99
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:25.759
who works with a homeless population,
and we've got that project on the yes,

100
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.279
sir, that is correct. We've
got that because around our clinic we

101
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.480
have several homeless encampments. So we're
wanting to work with the homeless population.

102
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:39.839
Also, very good day boy,
if anybody needs it and their resources are

103
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.639
slim and you far and few between. And you know, especially when we

104
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.720
were having such how can I say
warm weather? We have to be keep

105
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:54.959
that population in the forefront of our
mind. We do and really at all

106
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:00.360
times, and I can't. First
of all, it's hard when a person

107
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.439
finds themselves in that situation. And
I know plenty of people who ever thought

108
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.720
in a million years they'd be there, and they were, and trying to

109
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.920
get out of it one way or
another. Keeping and maintaining your health is

110
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.319
paramount because without that the rest is
not going to matter exactly exactly. You

111
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.519
know, I'm a former health care
provider, so I keep that of the

112
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.920
foremost of my mind. Healthcare for
me is very and very important. Not

113
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.320
only is executive director, but is
a former health care provider. I look

114
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.360
at the big picture. I'm looking
not only as that person, but I'm

115
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.799
also looking at the broader picture,
like their home environment, their community and

116
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.279
out sources. You know, we
have to do that, and that's what

117
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.240
we're doing out there at the Family
Healthcare Service. We look at the whole

118
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.320
thing. You're opening doors and serving
people. Yes, sir, that's what

119
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.440
we're plan to do, and we
can strive to do that. Wow.

120
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.960
What if folks just want to make
a donation. They might not be able

121
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.919
to run so much, but they
really want to get behind your mission and

122
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.799
really get behind your clause sir,
they can make a donation to us,

123
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.600
and you are a five oh one
We are five oh one three C nonprofit

124
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.240
organization. That is correct. So
the DAX persons don't have to worry too

125
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.000
much about you right in a check. All they have to do is if

126
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.559
they want to submit a donation to
us, they can call the clinic or

127
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.919
they can send a check in care
of Family Healthcare Clinic, eighteen twenty West

128
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.840
Tinsley Boulevard, Bartlesville, Oklahoma,
seven four zero zero three. That easy,

129
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.399
huh? That easy. So if
you're walking around with about a thousand

130
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.519
dollars in your pocket, it's burning
a hole there and you're thinking, boy,

131
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.240
can they do something silly? Er? Can they do something worthwhile?

132
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.919
I'll hear something that'll touch everybody's heart. Now, we do have sponsors for

133
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.879
the event we do for the Mouth
from Ammigrant. You can sponsor much as

134
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.480
two hundred and fifty dollars one thousand, two thousand, three thous and if

135
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.679
you want to do that, then
you can have your name put on the

136
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.279
back of our special T shirt that
we have if you want to do it

137
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.879
that way. But we're willing to
take anything you can. A Mouth from

138
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.039
Mammogram coupon is worth forty dollars.
You can even do that. Oh wow,

139
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.600
that's cool. That is cool.
So all you have to do is

140
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.639
to check out the Facebook phase,
check out the website, or just pick

141
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.039
up the phone and give them a
call. That's three different ways in order

142
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.200
to get the information in the manner
in which you wish to receive it.

143
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.960
That's correct. Well, I'll tell
you what. You're everywhere, aren't it?

144
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.320
It seems since she is it sometimes
all at once. Exactly, My

145
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.399
goodness, things. I want to
thank you very much for being here with

146
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.039
this is Is there anything you'd like
to add? Not at this time,

147
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.919
but all I can tell you is
that we are striving to provide quality care

148
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.480
to this community, and we're going
to continue to do that. Sounds like

149
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.200
you're buy golly gonna do that?
Exactly, She's determined. I like her.

150
