Opinion from the The Daily Progress featuring the Greene Care Clinic, which opened in 2005 and treats adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes between 138-300% of the federal poverty level: That’s the space where America’s working poor fall through the cracks for Medicaid coverage. The clinic gives these people free care that meets or exceeds the quality of health treatment and maintenance they could get at any of area’s private practices or medical centers. The clinic is good at managing chronic diseases such as high blood pressure. It offers COVID vaccinations. “We keep people out of the emergency rooms,” Pam Morris Executive Director added. “That’s a huge service.”

Grateful for volunteers like Optometrist Gregory J

Grateful for volunteers like Optometrist Gregory Johnson, who donates his time and expertise to the Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic. Through his work, Johnson has seen what a difference having healthy, functioning eyes makes in a person’s life. “A lot about how we see is how we think, and our emotions and our vision are intertwined very deeply,” he said. “So changing how someone sees can really make or break their life.” With his help, Mother of Mercy clinic in Woodbridge began offering in-house eye care for patients in April.

One of those patients was William Brefo who has long had problems with his eyes and found it difficult to receive medical care. He shares, “I’m very grateful because I haven’t had my eyes checked in a long time, over five years. I lost my insurance from work and I’m not working right now. (Mother of Mercy helps) with my medication, my treatments, all of my health problems. They’re great.”
