In 1961, Second Baptist Church established the Sick Children's Clinic to provide free medical care to children facing financial hardships. The clinic offers non-discriminatory healthcare, ensuring families have access to essential medical services. Volunteer doctors from local clinics and pediatric practices see patients and address their needs, whether it’s providing antibiotics, other medications, or lab work.
“Doctors from local clinics and pediatricians voluntarily see the patients we have at our clinic. Depending on what the child needs—whether it’s an antibiotic, medication, or lab work—we have partnerships in place that allow prescriptions to be filled or lab work orders to be completed at no charge to our patients,” - Jennifer Fornari, Executive Clinical Director.
