Yesterday, I visited the 'WE CARE' Clinic on the SIUE East St. Louis Higher Education Campus to learn more about the team and their mission. The WE CARE Clinic is a nurse-managed primary care clinic sponsored by SIUE School of Nursing to provide care to diverse clients in the Metro East. Their mission is to provide comprehensive evidence-based primary care services to people in the Metro East area while working with health care providers and agencies to identify health needs, and to develop and implement plans to meet those needs.

Some of the services they provide include: School Physicals, Vaccinations, Asthma Treatments, and Preventative Care. The best part about the WE CARE Clinic is individuals can be use multiple services in one visit. They also have a mobile health unit that provides all the same services for those who need them. The team here is doing a tremendous job caring for those in need in the community.

We also donated several clothing items for their community collection!

I want to thank Dr. Myjal Garner for meeting with me and all the work she does for communities in the Metro East! To learn more about the 'WE CARE' Clinic, visit their website here.
