A little over a year ago, Nancy’s* vision had deteriorated to the point where she couldn’t see well enough to work. Anxious and frustrated, she came to the Genesis clinic in Caldwell for help. The volunteer providers discovered that both her blood pressure and blood sugar were dangerously out of control.
With care, her blood sugar began to improve after the first few appointments but her blood pressure was still high. Our staff then got Nancy a cardiology appointment with a specialist who volunteers in the Garden City clinic. He discovered the source of the issue and helped her get her blood pressure under control.
After a lot of hard work and follow up, Nancy’s blood pressure and blood sugar returned to normal levels. As she began to regain her physical health, she was able focus on other important areas of her life. She was able to get a new job, move to an affordable home in West Treasure Valley, and got health insurance. Today, Nancy is an established patient with a local primary care provider—and is living with a new confidence to face whatever life throws at her.
On her last visit at Genesis before transitioning to her new primary care provider, she thanked the incredible staff and volunteers at the Caldwell location, saying she had never received such high-quality care in a place where people genuinely cared about her.
