St. Thomas Clinic 2013
Annual Report
Living out the vision of a society in which all people have
access to health care regardless of their ability to pay since
1996
Continuing Service in the Face of Change
Our mission is threefold.
We exist to:
Operate a free medical
clinic two mornings a
week where low income
uninsured Johnson
County residents can
receive free medical care,
medications and have
access to Prescription
Assistance Programs.
Make referrals to other
community resources
for further care or
assistance.
Serve as a clinical site for
medical professional
students of medicine,
nursing and pharmacy.
Look inside these pages
to get an idea of all we
accomplish with the
support of so many!
At St. Thomas Clinic, we
remain committed to our
original vision of providing
access to health care for all
regardless on one’s ability
to pay. With the implementation of health care
reform on a federal level,
we are working to help our
patients acquire health
insurance coverage where
possible. On a practical
level, the great majority of
our patients will not be
able to afford insurance on
the health care exchange,
and have no access to
Medicaid unless they
prove disability. So our
ministry continues to ensure that Johnson County
adults have access to quality health care that helps
them manage chronic conditions and keeps them out
of the hospital emergency
rooms as much as possible
In 2013, we provided a total of
$2,210,483 worth of
services and supplies
to our patients. We
welcomed 227 new
patients to our clinic,
many as referrals for
follow up from Johnson Memorial Hospital.
Our pharmacy filled
6000 prescriptions,
giving away more than
$610,000 worth of
medications. The
Johnson County Prescription Program
helped patients to access more than $1 million worth of medications directly from
charity programs at
pharmaceutical companies. Our patients
accessed 1823 medical
visits with physicians,
nurse practitioners,
medical students and
nurses. We have been
able to continue to
provide more than $22
worth of services to
our patients for every
$1 donated to us.
We are thankful for
the trust that our patients and our community supporters place in
us, and we continue to
implement new programs and processes to
increase the quality of
our care. We are hosting
more patient educational programs, increasing our oversight of
chronic conditions and
boosting our tobacco
cessation efforts. We
thank you for your part
in our effort, and ask for
your continued participation.
Johnson County Dental Health Initiative Continues
St. Thomas Clinic collaborates with the Partnership for a Healthier
Johnson County to provide relief from dental pain to low income,
uninsured Johnson County adults. In 2013, Dental Line Coordinator
Susie Hooten arranged for dental care to more than 125 people.
This care included extractions, fillings, dentures, and oral surgeries.
The conservative value of services donated by our partner dentists
(see next page) was $35,875.00. The Clinic and partnership also
support Cedar Lane Family Dentistry’s annual December Dental
Day.
