"The free clinic feels like home. I've been here for five years; the volunteer doctors, nurses, pharmacists, midwives and office staff are my colleagues and friends. We're all here for a reason--we care and we want to help. You can't find a nicer group of people to work with."

"I am a 59 year old female who is only employed part time. I cannot get insurance through my job because I am not a full time employee. I am not eligible for Medicaid because I have an income. The health insurance through Health Marketplace is more than I can afford, so I went without health coverage or medication until I was treated at the Free Clinic. I am very thankful for the Lorain County Free Clinic. Without the Clinic, I would not be able to have any healthcare."

" I could not pay for insurance. The money ran out because it is not affordable.  (They) would not let me see my doctor even if I paid out of pocket. I am just glad to be here. I was taken care of and I am thankful and very grateful. God bless you all."

"The staff was really friendly and they were able to listen to my concerns and answer my questions."

"I worked at the Steel Mill for five years. I have been laid off due to lack of work for almost two years. I am glad to have the facility to help me out."

“I volunteer at the Lorain County Free Clinic because in 1992 my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer and we had no insurance due to the fact that his ad agency had laid him and four others off. I eventually found L.C.F.C who forgave all his surgeries. It was a miracle. We both started volunteering ASAP.”
