New Year / New Clinic
Change is certainly in the air with the new year. In case you haven’t noticed, St. Anthony Free Medical Clinic recently moved across the street into a brand new facility. The new clinic is larger, better designed and better equipped, and will enable us to treat an additional 5,000 patients per year. With increased seating capacity in our new pediatric waiting room, larger exam rooms, a private counseling room, and the greater capability to respond to medical emergencies, we will offer a calmer, more comfortable environment for our guests.
The change is certainly a welcome one for patients who will benefit from the new clinic’s expanded capacity and services, and for the staff who’ve been working out of a converted garage space for the past 50+ years. Our therapists, who have moved from a glorified broom closet to a large counseling room with windows, couldn’t be happier. All the clinic staff seem to share a collective feeling of excitement and enthusiasm about the new space. We are all looking forward to a future of hope and healing for the poor and homeless guests we serve.
