Speaker 2: of our clinic and I want to thank them from
Speaker 2: the bottom.
Speaker 1: Of my heart. Wow, they are great. They just wrapped

Speaker 2: there by the Community Center, and we are going to
Speaker 2: have lots of things going on. It is a big
Speaker 2: event for our clinic a big fundraiser. I just encourage
Speaker 2: even if you don't run, to run, there's a two
Speaker 2: k wall walk walk walk, and also you can you
Speaker 2: don't want to do that, you can stay in your
Speaker 2: own little bed. We have a virtual one, you have
Speaker 2: a sleep in one. There's lots of ways. So if
Speaker 2: you go on our website, you can do whatever you
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 1: Well, that is great. You got options. That's good.
Speaker 2: You have many options.
Speaker 1: Now I want to go into the Family Healthcare Clinic
Speaker 1: specifically because this is one of the many things you do,
Speaker 1: and this is your biggest fundraiser. We want to keep
Speaker 1: that front and center. But you're there for everybody, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: we are, and you now take a special clientele.
Speaker 2: Yes we do. We take We just this summer got
Speaker 2: approved for Medicare, so I'm so excited about that. But
Speaker 2: we have we take Medicare, we take Medicaid, and we
Speaker 2: take private pay meaning that if based on income, you
Speaker 2: walk into our clinic, if you have no insurance, you
Speaker 2: pay out of your pocket forty bucks.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: And then we offer reduced costs for laboratory stuff like
Speaker 2: say you want to commune and you need some lab
Speaker 2: done for a general health panel which includes a CBC
Speaker 2: chemistry which would check your electro lights and things like that,
Speaker 2: twenty five dollars. If you need a lipid panel which
Speaker 2: checks your cholesterol, that's about fifteen dollars. So and however,
Speaker 2: if that is if you can't afford that, we have
Speaker 2: paperwork there that you can apply for what we call
Speaker 2: our Patient Assistance Program. We can help you fill that
Speaker 2: out too. If you need other stuff done also, and
Speaker 2: then we can tap you into resources, other resources to
Speaker 2: help you apply for Medicaid if you qualify for that,
Speaker 2: we have the ability to get you directed to where
Speaker 2: you need to go. But if you come into our
Speaker 2: clinic one time, we can help you out. We have
Speaker 2: the ability to tap you into other resources. And like
Speaker 2: I said, we can help you if you want to
