Our speaker this week was Mary Beth Parker, Executive Director of the Hope Medical Clinic. Our Club has had a long relationship with the Hope Clinic and its founders. Past Club President Venerando Maximo was one of the clinic's founders who regularly traveled to the Philippines on charitable medical missions.
The Hope Clinic is a non-profit, free clinic in Dover, Delaware that provides primary medical care to uninsured and low-income individuals. The clinic was founded in 2003 by a group of Filipino physicians committed to providing access to quality healthcare to underserved people.
The Hope Clinic offers a variety of services, including:
• Primary care
• Women's health
• Pediatric care
• Dental care
• Mental health services
• Social services
The clinic is open to all residents of Delaware, regardless of their immigration status. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis and do not need to make an appointment. The Hope Clinic is funded by donations and grants.
The Hope Clinic is a vital resource for Dover's uninsured and low-income community. The clinic provides access to quality healthcare that would otherwise be out of reach for many people. The Hope Clinic is a testament to the power of community and the importance of giving back.
Here are some additional facts about the Hope Clinic:
• The clinic is staffed by volunteers, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
• The clinic provides thousands of dollars of free healthcare each year.
• The Hope Clinic is accredited by the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics.
