Clinic serves the poor and uninsured in High Point
“It’s a sad fact for many across our area — health insurance is a luxury they can’t afford. But some medical professionals are banding together to help thousands of uninsured people.
‘I’ve always enjoyed medicine and particularly enjoyed being a surgeon,’ he said. ‘So, it was really a means to get back into what I really enjoyed.’
Biesecker works with other physician and pharmacist volunteers at the clinic, which serves more than 3,000 people in High Point who live below poverty level and aren’t able to receive Medicaid or health insurance coverage.
‘This clinic is very important to the patients that come here because most of them have rather serious problems like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and other medical conditions that if we weren’t available for them, it would be a very difficult time indeed for them,’ he said.”
