Suzy provided an overview of the Parker Health Clinic, as a staple of quality health care for the residents of Monmouth County who do not have insurance. Suzy reported there are over 130 volunteers who provide care. These volunteers range from Nurses and Doctors to Translators.

There are three basic requirements for becoming a Parker patient. A patient needs to be a Monmouth County resident. They must be living without health insurance. And their annual income needs to be at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty level. That equates to $38,280 for a single person and $78,600 for a family of four.

The clinic helps people who do not qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford insurance — the people who fall through the cracks. There is a need for a bigger building with additional exam rooms. The clinic has been approved for a major renovation.

 

 

Those who have not paid their dues, please get them in ASAP.

 

Bring your "Diaper Pantry Go Bags" to our next meeting to swap out for filled bags. Monitoring the pantries is a group effort!
