In our unstable economy, job loss is many times accompanied by loss of health insurance. Many clinics step up to take on the task of helping these and other uninsured patients navigate the healthcare system during this time of uncertainty. Reach Out Dayton is one such clinic that has not only taken on this task, but also assumes the responsibility of providing a teaching atmosphere for medical students from Wright State University’s Boonshoft School of Medicine. Dr. Sherlock discusses many aspects of Reach Out Dayton, including funding, which has taken a significant cut recently due to healthcare changes at the federal level.
