Downturn Drives Up Traffic at Free Clinics
June 3, 2009
Power company Dominion Resources yesterday pledged $1-million to help free clinics nationwide deal with a sharp increase in patient visits, reports The Washington Post.
About three dozen of the 100 clinics receiving the aid are located in Dominion’s home state of Virginia. The money will help the largely volunteer-run health facilities cope with an anticipated 30 percent increase in the number of uninsured Americans.
