Ferndale Free Clinic Update

By Anne Heler, Board of Directors

SMILE! FERNCARE CELEBRATED seven years as a working clinic on August 7! So many hugs and banquets of flowers for everyone who has supported the clinic. Thank you from all of us; the Board of Directors, clinic volunteers and very, very grateful patients.

Ferncare is still scheduling appointments for new patients a month out. 248-677–2273. If you cannot wait that long, there are two free clinics that have available appointments much sooner than that:

Bernstein Community Health Clinic, 45580 Woodward Ave., Pontiac, MI 48314, 248-309–3752.

HUDA Clinic,  13420 Woodrow Wilson, Detroit, MI 48213, 313–444–5490.

A sliding–fee scale clinic is Covenant Care Clinic – 27776 Woodward, Royal Oak, MI 48067, 248–556-4900 across the street from the Westborn Market. It’s a full service clinic in open 40 hours a week. They also take Healthy Michigan and Medicaid insured patients as well as other insurances. They also have dental services at the clinic on Detroit’s east side.

Change in Medical Collection
Bring medications and some equipment to the clinic on either the first or third Saturday of each month or anytime weekdays between 9 AM and 2 PM. We take medications only from people not medical clinics, physicians office, or nursing homes.
