CHC Mission in Action

Meet Brad Scott

Brad had just been hospitalized and newly diagnosed as a diabetic when he lost his job and his health insurance. He knew he needed follow-up care, but without health insurance, his options were very limited. One of the offices he contacted referred him to the Nursing Clinic.

Brad said, "It was nice to be able to walk in and be seen that same day. The nurse practitioner was very helpful in clarifying what I should be doing to care for my condition. She also helped me get blood work to determine the type of diabetes I have. In addition to that, She determined that I'm allergic to Glucophage, which I had been taking for my diabetes."

Brad was also referred to an eye doctor so his vision could be treated for the damage done by his diabetes. He came into CHC during open enrollment for the State's Adult Benefit Waiver program and was enrolled so that he will receive medical coverage.

Brad said, "Thank you so much. I would have probably ended up back in the emergency room if the Nursing Clinic was not available."
