When COVID-19 began, the Free Clinic’s Health Center adapted by shifting to telehealth. Key staff members remained on-site to receive delivery of medication and critically needed diabetic supplies for our established patients.

Last week, members of the Free Clinic Board and staff had the opportunity to both present at and attend the virtual Equity Amid Crisis conference. Alongside partners from the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, Juvenile Welfare Board, City of St. Petersburg, Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay Rays/Rowdies and many more organizations and companies, we talked about how we can collectively address racial inequity and build a thriving community free from bias and discrimination.
