Meet Dr. John Houchins - Volunteer Tuesday Night Medical Director
Dr. Houchins stands in the Clinic's screening room and gestures towards an elderly man being shown into an exam room. "That man is the reason I come here week after week", he offers. "His first visit here was an emergency; in fact, he was rushed to the ER shortly after arriving. He hadn't any idea he was suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure and, once his condition stabilized, we began treatment and education that have changed his life- really saved his life. It's thinking of patients like him that helps me make the drive here every Thursday evening."
