On, Tuesday the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce welcomed guest speaker Sheri Noble of the Good Samaritan Care Clinic to the noon luncheon. Sheri spoke on the changes and difficulties that the clinic has endured throughout the pandemic and the adjustments that were made to continue helping those in need.
Prior to the pandemic, The Good Samaritan Care Clinic hosted walk-in medical clinics each Monday evening to offer free healthcare to area residents who were uninsured or low-income individuals. This was accomplished through volunteers on all levels of the visits from receptionist to physicians, nurses, and more. When the shut-down occurred in March, the clinic was no longer able to safely carry out walk in services safely due to lack of waiting room staff as well as PPE equipment shortages. With nearly half of the 800 individuals who used the clinic as their primary care classified as chronic illnesses such as diabetes, they knew they had to figure out a way to continue care for these individuals as they, in many cases, had no other access to critical supplies. The Good Samaritan Care Clinic was able to do appointment-based visits Monday through Thursday to meet those needs. While things are different now, they remain focused on helping those in need.
The Good Samaritan Care Clinic is a non-profit organization, they are currently seeking volunteers and they can always use donations as well. For more information visit them online at goodsamaritancareclinic.org or contact Sheri Noble at the clinic
