Across the Life Course Program
Leslie’s Place, our medical clinic for uninsured adults saw 600 unique patients in 2023 with over 900 visits.
One lady who visited struggled with homelessness and had heard about the clinic and came to get some medical help. She was a little disheveled when she arrived and seemed very anxious. The resident took her to the exam room and began to visit with her about her medical needs. When she finished her appointment, she would be able to pick up a prescription that she needed for free. Before she left, she spoke with the coordinator expressing her gratitude. She said, “The doctor actually listened to me and cared about what I said. No one has ever done that before.”
On another occasion, a daughter brought her mother to the clinic because she had no insurance and could not afford to go to the ER. Her visit was just in time as her mother’s condition would have turned into pneumonia. She was prescribed medication and on her follow up visit, she was recovered.

There are several success stories hat come to mind, but one that particularly stands out. There was a single mom who visited our pantry n need of hygiene and food She was hesitant of taking "too" much because she did not want to take away from other families in need
After visiting with her during her appointment, we learned that she was freshly starting over from a domestic relationship. She had saved up every penny to get her own place, and had nothing Her and her two kids were sleeping on the floor, they had no furniture, food, hygiene or any basic necessities
We aided them with food, hygiene, clothes, linens, and even our extra microwave in our office. We reached out to a partnering agency who was able to provide a month of rent and bills, a bed and linens The mom and children were so appreciative They are doing great and are so thankful for the connection we have together.
Job Training & Workplace Placement
Riley is an 18-year-old man who worked with a job coach at Super Mercado and the Friends of Libraries and Literacy Bookstore this past year. At first, he only interacted with co-workers when addressed and rarely made eye contact He lacked confidence and was insecure on the job sites. He received extensive job training from his job coach, which helped him develop strong work habits and skills. He mastered all job training goals on his Individual Program Plan this year. Riley graduated from our High School Program and is currently in the Workforce Program.
