Health For All to offer free care to area needy
By Jacqueline Mason
The Batfalion
Various Texas A&M health organizations
and A&M medical students are joining forces
with volunteer doctors, nurses and pharma
cists to provide free medical advice to a grow
ing number of people in the Brazos Valley
who cannot afford health care.
Health For All, Inc., a free clinic in Bryan
created in 1987, offers health care to patients
who have no insurance.
"Right now, we primarily provide services
for acute care cases for patients that don't have
insurance or Medicaid or Medicare," said
Health For All Executive Director Cindy
Patrick.
She said the clinic will not, however, dupli
cate the services of organizations such as Med
icaid or family planning.
Health For all volunteer Mary DeVaul said
while St. Joseph Hospital and Health Center in
Bryan will also treat people who do not have
insurance, the eventual cost to both the patient
and the community is high.
"We are really targeting those patients who
have no where else to go," she said.
Through the years, the clinic, which initially
operated from a motel room, has grown rapid
ly and currently operates in a facility with
three examination rooms and a small pharma
cy.
Patrick said the clinic now wants to expand
programs to include health education.
The Texas A&M Nutrition Society will start
a diet and nutrition class on October 21 at the
clinic.
Carol Suter, adviser for The Nutrition Soci
ety, said students will provide modified diet
instruction to anyone interested in choosing
low-fat foods and stretching their food dollar.
Nutrition Society President Diane Heikes
said the clinic provides a good opportunity for
the members to teach good eating habits to a
captive audience, particularly children.
"They are at a period in their lives where
they need nutritional care," she said.
Second-year medical students at A&M also
volunteer at the clinic on Thursday nights
helping both doctors and nurses in anything
that needs to be done.
One volunteer. Grant Taylor, said he works
"We primarily provide ser
vices for acute care cases for
patients that don't have insur
ance or Medicaid or
Medicare."
- Cindy Patrick,
Health For All executive director
at Health For All to help fill in the gaps of peo
ple not receiving health care. His part in
cludes screening patients and taking their
medical history before presenting their cases
to the doctors.
Currently, nearly 30 doctors and 10 medical
students volunteer at the clinic, but, Patrick
said, it is not enough to help the more than 400
patients seeking aid each month.
To solve the problem. Health For All will
move to a bigger location this week providing
volunteers with twice the space they currently
have, Patrick said.
"We hope to be able to double the number
of doctors working since we will have bigger
space," she said.
She said the clinic is also seeking to increas
operating hours.
Because patients are seen on a first-i
first-served basis, they sometimes havetowar.
a long time to see a doctor, if they canseei®
at all.
"Once our limit of patients is up, we hat
to turn patients away and that's why wetvar:
to expand our services," Patrick said.
Jon Turton, administrative assistant
Joseph Hospital, said he has seen paticntsfe
up outside the Health For All clinic an
before the doors open.
The clinic's single biggest problem is
ed resources for a large demand of patients,h
said.
St. Joseph's interest in the clinic is
than just virtuous, Turton said.
If clinics such as Health For All can diver
people from hospital emergency rooms, thes
hospital employees can help more peopleii
need of primary, or non-emergency, care,he
said.
Patrick said St. Joseph Hospital, aswelU
the Brazos Valley Medical Center and Scotti
White Clinic, have donated equipment ami
services to the clinic.
"The services we are providing are helpinj
keep the hospital's cost down because tte
people don't go to the emergency room.The)
come to us," she said.
But, DeVaul said, the clinic is justnowta
ginning to meet the needs of its large numbei
of patients, some coming from as farawayas
Navasota and Conroe.
"I feel like I'm getting to know the con®
nity better," she said. "It makes me feel
to go there."
Health For All's new location will bet:
Memorial Drive in Bryan.
Reid first female to march in bugle rank with Aggie Band
By Andrea Taormina
The Battalion
Sherry Reid became the first
woman to march in the bugle
rank of the Texas Aggie Band last
weekend.
"It feels good," said Reid, a se
nior biomedical science major
from Omaha, Neb. "I'm proud of
it. That's what I've always want
ed to do, so I was glad 1 finally got
to do it."
Band Director Col. Ray Toler
said being a member of the bugle
rank is an elite position. They
lead the band through often com
plex formations that are called bu
gle rank drills. Members of the
bugle rank are selected by the
drum majors and approved by
Toler.
"It is a very coveted position,"
Toler said. "Most freshmen want
to be on the bugle rank or a drum
major from their first day."
Reid, one of 26 females in the
band right now, is the highest
ranking female the hand has ever
had. She also holds the positions
of scholastics officer and first al
ternate for the bugle rank,
someone cannot march, she take:
their place.
As scholastics officer, Reid
responsible for performing in
spections, maintaining the
file and providing tutors.
