An apple a day keeps the doctor … hey, wait a minute!

No keeping doctors away. 🩺 We need them.

Thanks to local food organizations for donating in-season produce, like these apples, bursting with flavor and nutrients. Our patients love them.

Were you shopping at Columbia Center today? You may have seen Diana and Ericka at the Grace Clinic table.

They gave away goodies and shared about our free (yes, you read that right) healthcare services for uninsured adults.

Diana also told women they may be eligible to get free screening mammograms, thanks to a program funded through the Wildhorse Foundation.

In honor of Medical Assistants Recognition Week, we’re highlighting Angelica.

As part of her Medical Assistant program at Charter College, she has nearly completed 160 hands-on hours at Grace Clinic.

She’s taken vital signs, shared patient concerns with providers, and reviewed discharge instructions with patients.

“Being here has taught me how to work with different doctors and nurses, each with their own style,” she said.

After graduation, Angelica plans to continue her career journey at Columbia Basin College to become a Registered Nurse.

Thank you, Angelica, for supporting our patients, and best wishes in your nursing career!

You know it’s .

When you can’t afford mammograms, you’re more likely to postpone or skip them. The danger: you could be living with undiagnosed breast cancer.

That’s why we are proud to offer the Women’s Wellness Initiative, thanks to a generous grant from the Wildhorse Foundation.

Diana De La Mora (4th from left in the back row), Grace Clinic’s Care Coordinator, helps qualifying women get connected with free mammograms. For some women, it’s their first ever.

At least one of these procedures has revealed cancer, and treatment was begun.

Your support makes this crucial “healthcare on-ramp” possible.

A healthy smile is mission-critical. Just ask Christian.

With plans to serve his country in the Army, Christian knew he needed to get his dental health squared away before heading to boot camp. That’s where Grace Clinic stepped in.

Thanks to our dedicated volunteer professionals including Dental Assistant Laura, Christian received the care he needed: multiple fillings, completely free of charge.

No cavities left behind. Now Christian is ready to start his military career.

We're proud to stand behind those who step up to serve. 🎖️

One of Carmen Espejo’s superpowers is being bilingual in English and Spanish. The Lead Interpreter for our medical patients, Carmen also mentors Columbia Basin College students who volunteer at Grace Clinic as part of the Spanish Medical Interpreting Program.

But wait … there’s more!

This multitalented superwoman supports reception, screens most of our new medical patients, and jumps in on other administrative tasks as needed.

¡Gracias!

Q: What's Monopoly money 💵 doing on a bus?

A: It was a teaching tool used by Grace Clinic's Executive Director, Avonte Jackson.

The bus was carrying Leadership Tri-Cities Class XXIX members from Cadwell Labs to SIGN Fracture Care International.

Avonte gave the members "monthly salaries" of a typical Grace Clinic patient to demonstrate the struggle to cover basic expenses, let alone healthcare costs.

Thanks to LTC for the excellent experience, to Ben Franklin Transit🚌 for the ride, and to Meggan Tjarks for the photo. 🤩
