A visibly downcast Clay* walked into the Genesis clinic in Garden City, Idaho. He had been referred by St. Luke’s Humphreys Diabetes Center hoping Genesis would care for him.
Lisa, the front office coordinator, attentively listened to Clay as he described his situation.
He explained that without medication and medical care, he couldn’t control his
type 1 diabetes.
Clay was an employed family man. Unfortunately, his salary couldn’t cover the combined expenses of medication, medical insurance, and the cost of living.
It was an all-too-familiar case: having to choose between food and rent over health care.
But at Genesis, happy endings take place every day …
When Lisa informed Clay that the Genesis diabetics treatment team would help him stabilize his condition at no cost, his face lit up with renewed hope!
Genesis immediately registered Clay as a patient. He was now eligible for free periodic visits with a specialist, medication, and meetings with a dietician. He even was equipped with a blood pressure cuff on that first visit to monitor his high blood pressure.
He left the clinic feeling on top of the world!
Today, Clay’s diabetes is being managed at the Genesis Canyon County Clinic in Caldwell, Idaho, close to his home. He is working consistently with the medical and diabetes care teams of volunteers.
