Letter to the Editor: St. Peters Mayor Salutes Volunteers in Medicine

I was proud to be invited to the grand re-opening of Volunteers in Medicine, located at 1039 South Duchesne Road on Saturday, Oct. 27, and would like to share with you thoughts about this complimentary health care clinic.

Prior to the relocation, Volunteers in Medicine operated its clinic in the basement of the Salvation Army building at 2140 N. Fourth Street in St.Charles. The mission of Volunteers in Medicine is to serve the health care needs of St. Charles and Lincoln County adult residents who are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private health insurance and, whose household income meets four Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Volunteers in Medicine is an independent non-profit agency that is dependent on physicians, pharmacists, nurses and residents who contribute their time to operate the clinic. I salute Volunteers in Medicine and wish them success with their continued efforts to help those in needin our community.
