EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP Volunteers in Medicine of South Jersey will hold an open house Wednesday to introduce the public to its new, second location of free clinics. <\/p>\n
Uninsured Atlantic County residents can receive free medical assistance at the new clinic. The organization has operated its first location in Cape May Court House for 15 years. <\/p>\n
The clinic at 3073 English Creek Ave. in the Family Service Association Building has medical professionals and other volunteers who can provide health care and preventative medical services to people who don't have insurance. <\/p>\n
The open house is from 6 to 7: 30 p.m. There will be light refreshments. Guests may tour the new clinic and ask questions about services. <\/p>\n
Organizers have said Volunteers in Medicine was created to serve as a temporary safety net to support people who were between jobs, waiting for new health insurance or not eligible for Medicaid. <\/p>\n
Volunteers in Medicine are vital to communities with low-income populations and ones that suffer economic hardships, especially in Atlantic and Cape May counties, they said. <\/p>\n
A small percentage of patients treated in Cape May Court House came from Atlantic County, but directors said they now will be able to treat Atlantic County patients in Egg Harbor Township. <\/p>\n
