Often times we hear folks asking for examples of how private sector charities are meeting the needs of Americans like we seem to respond to needs in foreign countries. After being some of those foreign aid responders, these medical professionals decided to do something besides talk about it.
One of the services offered by PSCC is a mobile medical clinic that serves the Snohomish community by parking their 40 foot mobile clinic at the Crossview Church on Thursday evenings from 5pm till 9pm. For some additional information about this organization, read the excerpt from their brochure or go to their website at www.pschristianclinic.org
PUGET SOUND CHRISTIAN CLINIC
Bringing hope and health to communities
OUR STORY
Puget Sound Christian Clinic (PSCC) began in North Seattle in 2003 through the shared vision of a small group of health care professionals. After providing care overseas, they saw an urgent need for health care right in their local community, where more than 20% of the population do not have access to medical and dental care because they lack health insurance.
This team shared their vision of giving quality, compassionate care to the low-income uninsured with other health providers, and the Puget Sound Christian Clinic was born.
OUR MISSION
Low-income uninsured and underinsured families--- by providing quality, compassionate health care while asking the Holy Spirit for opportunities to share the Good News of Christ.
The Christian community--- by training God's people to sacrificially serve others with the humilty of Jesus.
The people of Puget Sound & beyond--- through followers of Christ coming together to meet the health care needs of "the least of these."

Volunteers make our work possible. Without the dedication of many people who donate their time and talents, we would not be able to provide these vital health services to our community. Some volunteers provide direct patient care, while many others serve in administrative or support roles
