Grateful Patient Gives Back to PHC
"I help out at the Clinic when I can - I feel so much gratitude for the care the doctors have given me and my family."
Maricela Ruelas has called People's Health her family's medical home for over 5 years. Working as a housekeeper and prep cook, she has no health insurance. So, raising her children Jose and Kelsey, she has relied on People's Health since their first visits for stomachaches and allergies.
Over time, she has felt the need to do more than make the suggested patient donation at each visit. So she helps to vacuum and clean the Clinic whenever she can and brings food to help feed the volunteers during evening clinics.
Last fall, Clinic providers diagnosed a blood clot in Maricela's leg. Staff arranged an ultrasound and IV drug therapy at LDS Hospital and helped Maricela fill out paperwork for a discount. Since that successful treatment, Clinic staff has been performing lab tests (processed for free by LabCorp) and monitoring her medication. Maricela's relief in having resolved this potentially dangerous condition is evident in her cheerful smile whenever she comes into the Clinic.
