“Without health insurance, there wasn’t really anything I could do...” ❤️
When Francisca and her family moved to America four years ago, they were determined to build a better life for their two young children. But that dream was threatened when Francisca began suffering from severe dizziness, weakness, and fatigue. Without health insurance, getting the medical care she desperately needed felt impossible, until she found the RotaCare Pittsburg Free Medical Clinic at St. Vincent de Paul.
Thanks to our incredible team, including Dr. Jane Hewitt (pictured here with Francisca!), Francisca received free medical exams, free lab tests, and free medication. She was diagnosed with and treated for anemia, allowing her to regain her strength, control her condition, and continue working to support her family.
When a new health challenge arose recently with abdominal pain, Francisca knew she could rely on SVdP. Today, thanks to tools like our Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system and telehealth options, we are able to keep providing high-quality, accessible care to thousands of uninsured neighbors across Contra Costa County.
Medical care shouldn’t be out of reach. If you or someone you know needs help, we are here for you. 👇
