Doug McConeghy is a single dad to two teenagers and works long hours as a machinist for a Lannon company. Medical insurance is not offered through his company and Doug’s budget is tight. Purchasing medical insurance from a private insurance company would be costly.
 
“I was talking to my neighbor one day and he told me to try out the Community Outreach Health Clinic,” Doug said.
 
From the moment he entered the clinic, he found a friendly team of medical professionals ready to work with him on leading a healthier lifestyle.
 
“They make me feel so special,” he said. “I can’t imagine this place without them.”
 
Doug is treated for Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and depression. He visits the clinic every three months for checkups and medication refills.
 
“Our community is so lucky to have this clinic nearby," Doug said. "The nurses and volunteers are amazing and knowledgeable, and they work hard to keep so many people healthy.”
 
Mahpara and Anwar Fazeel visit the clinic for routine checkups and to pick up prescriptions for their chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension and thyroid issues. The couple drives to the clinic from their home in Butler where they are raising three kids.
 
“They take good care of us,” said Mahpara, who homeschools her children while her husband is a delivery driver. “They always greet us with a happy face.”
 
Mahpara learned about the clinic through a friend and has been a patient since 2019. She appreciates how she can be seen by the nurses and volunteer doctors and medical professionals and pick up medications in one place. “It’s such a relief that we found the clinic, and we are so satisfied with every visit,” she said.
