And organizations are you a part of . Free andresent 1400 Charitable Clinics and pharmacies all across the united the tar allerica 501 b three Nonprofit Health care organizations. Itssroots medicine at finest. Free and Charitable Clinics are people who decided to put people over politics and decided to become the communitys response to health care in their area. All of our clinics provide primary care, dental care, at some of our local cool at some of our locations, access to medications, and were the people who are helping those who do not have insurance. Primarily, our clinics serve 18 to 65yearold, and in the 100 to 300 range of poverty. Host typically how many, in a year, with these 1400 clinics serve, how many people . Guest 2 Million People annually with 6. 9 million patient visits. Pandemic. Efore the host are you getting a shift early on, seven to eight weeks in, whatever it has been, on how numbers have increased . Guest we anticipate a tsunami of people coming to the clinics. We know that with the economic downturn we see in this country right now, we will be at pre ac a numbers with the number of people uninsured. We are preparing for more people to need the care. Offices alone, before the pandemic, we would handle phone calls for people looking for a free or charitable clinic. Seven or eight weeks in, we are receiving phone calls and the most from people who have now been laid off, now uninsured, and dont know where to go. We are trying to get them connected to the right place of care for what they need. Fundingpically, who is the bulk of the 1400 free and Charitable Clinics . Guest we are not federally funded. Nonprofit c3 organizations, receiving our funding through privatepublic partnerships and grand dollars. I think that is an important thing for us to know, is that as we look at release bills that are coming out of congress, while there may be opportunities for our clinics to receive funding, there is not an amazing amount of money dedicated solely for free and Charitable Clinics and the work we do for the uninsured. That is why we are so lucky to , andthe support like cvs those who have made a multimillion dollar commitment to us in the work were doing. Without that, we would not be able to provide the care we are providing to keep people out of the ers during this pandemic. Host during your knowledge, any your knowledge, have had to close . Guest we are the incubators of thought. Delivery goed our from an in person model of care to telehealth. Shiftedour clinics have in the fact that they may also be providing medications to their patients. That is critical, because Emergency Rooms should be used for emergencies. They should not be used for the diabetic or hypertensive who need access to medicine. We have had some that have had to close and that is because our workforce, our volunteer workforce, are part of the people in that high risk category, 60 or older. Most of our clinics have shifted to a telehealth model or providing access to food for our patients and access to the medicine, in new and different way. Host was the shift to hella health new for you folks . Guest i would say it was new for the majority of our members. It was on our horizon for 2020, but not on the horizon for february or march. Host Nicole Lamoureux is our guest, the ceo of the National Association of free and Charitable Clinics across the country. We welcome your calls and questions. For those of you in the eastern and central time zone, it is 202 7488000 mountain pacific, 202 7488001, and if you are a medical professional, that line is 202 7488002. Nicole lamoureux, i wanted to ask you about the concerns you have raised during the pandemic,hat your clinics need the most and top of the list is not surprising, a lack of personal protective equipment and concern for lack of volunteer staff, lack of funding, and concern for highrisk patients. Typically in a free clinic, how many of the staff are percentage paid staff . Guest i would say anywhere from 20 to 35 of staff are paid staff. It of the workforce is volunteer. If you add them together, we look at over 200,000 people in the workforce of free and Charitable Clinics. When we look at a pandemic, we have to recognize those in highrisk categories, whether they are paid or volunteers, it is our responsibility to take care of them. Hence the shift to a telehealth or drivethrough model. We see a lot of our clinics utilize a drivethrough or walkup, to take care of their patients. Host among the concerns was the concern for highrisk patients, patients that come to your clinics evidencing some symptoms or signs of covid19. What has been your guidance to clinics in terms of handling those patients . Guest it has depended on where those clinics are located. So much of the response has been on the state level state level. We have our clinics work closely with the governors office, department of health, to really help our clinics understand where those stations should go. In some locations, it was not for them to go to the hospital, it was for them to go to a testing site somewhere else. In the beginning, there were not many testing sites as we have heard, so we have had to find places where our patients could go and set up new protocols as to when patients could come to a clinic or how they could see our doctors, such as taking temperatures before entering, making sure our chronic disease patients, the diabetes and hypertensive patients, have access to medicine, prior to the full swing of covid19. We could keep them on their protocols and out of that emergency room. The you have been ceo of Association Since 2007. You come with not a medical background but a background in association work. 13 years now with the free and Charitable Clinics. What do you think in your background, or has anything in your background prepared you for this medical crisis that your members are facing . Guest absolutely. I think what has prepared me the most is Associations Association is a nonprofit no matter what you are a part of our those people that camp and they quickly. I work for homebuilders before or horse council, two very different organizations, both being in both of those business minded organizations helped me shift my thoughts. We are talking apples to apples whether it is the funder, congress, or people like you. So you can understand what we are doing and who we are doing it for, and what role the Nonprofit Sector plays as a critical element of the economy in the United States. Host we have calls waiting for you. Lets go to new hampshire, edward, good morning. Hi, nicole. Great job as always. I wanted to know if you could comment on the oneday clinics you run in the huge as her and Convention Centers, seeing they and the huge domes and Convention Centers, seeing they help so many people. Keep it up. Guest thank you for that. From 2009 to 2015, we held large day largescale doctors offices in all of the Convention Centers across the United States. Being part of 2009 during the we weresis, and now, able to transition a number of our protocols we used in those events to transition to a standing clinic today. Inwrote our pandemic plan 2009, and it was helpful when, all of a setting, the cases, especially in the washington, d. C. Area, increased. We knew when we were supposed to work from home, how we were supposed to work from home, and how we were supposed to get that out into the field. Those clinics were an amazing way to understand what our standing clinics do, but i dont think i understood back in 2009 that the work we did for h1n1 would so applicable today. Host lets hear from john in grand junction, colorado. Caller good morning and thank for the work for fleet work from free health clinics. I looked at the website and have two questions. Most of the site descriptions say pediatrics and womens health. Is that a primary focus or for all . On the website as well, i saw 240 facilities. Is there expansion behind what this number shows on the website to 1400 . Guest i think those are great questions. As we are communities as our communities respond, our services will be different. There are 1400 clinics across the country. The last time i was on the show, we had a great number of visitors. Always, you can email us and we can connect you to a local clinic. A, for some reason, there is specialty clinic in your location, we ask people to email us and we will get you connected to a clinic near you, whether that is free clinic or our counterparts, in your areas. Host medical professionals, your line is 202 7488002. How difficult has it been to get your volunteer medical staff or volunteers, period, to come in . Guest i think its amazing. Difficult in the fact that we have had to say to so many of our volunteers, we are having you in a highrisk category and want to transfer you to telehealth. Making sure we are providing protection they need but for our doctors and nurses, many of them want to go to the hospital and help. We have had the ability to shift our protocol, time of clinics, location, and we are always looking for more medical volunteers in the free and charitable clinic community. I would not say its difficult. I would say making sure we utilize their talents in the best way has been a new challenge. Host how about charitable donations . You mentioned all are run by 5013 cs 5013 cs. You concerned that those window . Continues, i, along with other members of the Nonprofit Community, are concerned. For many of our clinics, this was the time for them to have their galas, balls, or events, and they have had to be canceled before this. We also worry that as a country opens up, people will forget there are people who need access to care. We are hopeful that, as we continue through this pandemic and outside of this pandemic, there will be support given to free and Charitable Clinics, but the National Organization joins with the Nonprofit Sector, and we are asking congress to find a way to support the work nonprofits have done. It is time for the government to be as good of a partner to the Nonprofit Community as we have been to the government. York is next up, robin. Go ahead. Caller good morning. Im wondering why there is a need for free health clinics, honestly, because i thought , as low as their income could be, could qualify for medicaid. Guest thats a great question. Caller go ahead. Host robin, we will let you go. Thank you. Guest thats a great question and one i get often. One of the largest misconceptions of the Affordable Care act passages that everyone in the country has access to health insurance. Prior to this pandemic, there were 27 Million People in our country that still did not have access to health insurance. There has not been this dramatic decline of the work we do or patients we see, so we have to see that across the country, not covered under the Affordable Care act, so there is not the opportunity for everyone to receive care. There are also things called the medically underserved, the people who may have an insurance card in their pocket but cannot afford their medicine or dont have access to Mental Health care. Definitely no access to dental care. That is a huge problem in our country. That is where free and Charitable Clinics come in. Standing in the gap of those people that dont have anywhere else to turn, but everyone does not have Automatic Health in our country. We do not have a singlepayer or universal Health Care Payer system. Host from the washington post, their headline, firstly coronavirus pandemic took their jobs in that it wiped out their health insurance. About three weeks ago, they wrote the Economic Policy millione estimates 9. 2 u. S. Residents were at high risk of having lost coverage during the past four weeks. Health Management Associates forecasted 12 million to 35 Million People will lose jobbased insurance because of the pandemic, on top of the 27. 5 million uninsured before the virus arrived. Its early still, but how are you preparing your clinics for the potential wave of patients they may see . Guest i think that is a great question. As i said before, i think it was in that article we addressed the fact we see a tsunami of patients coming to us. There are two things to remember, prior to the Affordable Care act, free insured free clinics were helping the uninsured. We would like to have conversations with the administration and congress. We know how to care for people uninsured. The ways we are preparing them is through access to programs like telehealth, training, and all of these new protocols coming out. We are also asking congress to expand the federal courts claim act to allow more people to practice with us, without the fear of a medical malpractice claim. We know theres a lot of work that will be done and we have to educate people now who are newly uninsured as to where they can go for care. Are they eligible for care through the Affordable Care act . Do they have access to cobra . Can they afford it . Should they be going to a qualified Health Center . Many of our clinics serve as navigators for our patients. Training goingf into whats happening, and helping to raise the funds desperately needed to keep our doors open. Host theres a question on twitter, what is the difference between the Health Department and these free clinics . Guest i think thats a great question. The difference whether it is a Health Department or federally qualified Health Department, they receive their funding from the federal or state government. Free and Charitable Clinics do not receive their funding from the federal government. Only in limited states are there allocations for our services in those states. We are not funded by taxpayer dollars. We are funded by donations. Host back to calls. Don is next in washington, d. C. Caller good morning, everyone. Host good morning. Guest good morning. Caller yes, i would just like what about this coronavirus is impacting this coronavirus is impacting everyone around the world. Your don, just listen to phone, not the radio audio or tv. Caller yes, i would like to now, why is the president and his team Walking Around with no masks on around people with masks on . Thats kind of scary to me. If you are the president of the United States, you are supposed to represent with whatever you are doing. I hate to say it like that, but this coronavirus thing, i think is a joke. They are making it not a joke so a lot of people are dying over stupid stuff. Going to the hospital with all kinds of pain, and all of a sudden we have coronavirus. We need to check our self, because we need to line our self up for the future to go back. Host don in washington. When you first started hearing coming outthe virus of china in late 2019, what were some of your initial thoughts and reaction . Guest the first thing we did was educate our clinics on what the coronavirus was. Getting information in webinars, documents out to our clinics in the field, working with partners we talked about before. Especially our partner who major our clinics had access to some ppe. Not as many as we need, but thank goodness they stepped in and worked with us. Another partner said here is the pbe. For us, it was preparing clinics through information, developing resources because we had to shift protocols, developing telehealth products that could be utilized everywhere from free to discounted products, and trying to find access to the ppe we really needed. The, some of our clinics on ground really started stockpiling and finding new ways they could work, in conjunction, with their hospitals. We did the entire idea was plan, proceed, and have it. Really, nothing is more unexpected than politics, and now we deal with a pandemic. We had to think about, what do we need, how do we get everybody what they need, and pivot on a dime to transition to funding because our cleaning needs the money to purchase some of the ppe. We are in the same place you are hearing from hospitals. We dont have access to ppe, we are shifting our providers to make sure they stay protected, and we have the lack of funding like they do. Host lets hear from john in trenton, new jersey. Caller yeah, i wanted to thank cspan for taking my call. Any clinicsou have around trenton or anywhere in the mercy counter adria Mercer County area . My second question, do you think this virus they have now was a weapon grade virus and i got loose on the public . I want to thank you for being there, because the federal government is standing up for ,he people in the United States went tomitch Mcconnell Health care before donald trump even got in. Host thank you we will hear from Nicole Lamoureux. Guest we do have clinics located near you. You can go to the website and put in our zip code and search for them, or send us an email. If for some reason the clinic is not available to you at this point in time, our team will help you find a location closer to you. It may be a federally qualified Health Center that is located in your area that can serve you. For this virus, my job is to make sure i get people healthy and make sure our clinics have what they need to provide the lifesaving and life changing work they do on a daily basis. Host george in louisville, kentucky. Hi there. Caller thanks for your work, nicole. Heres my thinking. All of society is so geared toward marketbased solutions to our problems, regardless of whether it is workerbased companies, nonprofit organizations. We try to apply marketbased theories to absolutely everything. When you look at the hippocratic oath, it is an diametric opposition to a lot of companies that are private companies having a fiduciary interest in increasing dividends for an investor class, often a diametric often in diametric opposition to do no harm. I keepp what thinking, we are in gilligans island. The islanders had to learn to survive and look out for each other, and money markets and marketbased theories were not at play in how they survived and managed to get off of the island. That is where we are at right now. With your nonprofit, charitable, or whatnot, you have to deal in the world the market had to create market created. Reagan once said government does not solution, the solution, government is the problem. I think all of the economic theories out of the textbooks, they are largely the problem. We have to step out of the market paradigm and inked in new ways outside of the framework of market thinking to find new solutions if we are ever going to get ahead. Guest i think that is an interesting point to bring forward. You are right, we need money to keep our doors open, whether we are a nonprofit or forprofit company. That is the way our country works. One of the beautiful parts of being connected with the free and charitable Clinic Movement is that we are able to puts people first, the commitment of every single one of our clinics. Because we are not taking insurance for the most part at our locations. There are times to take those extra minutes with those patients in the room and talk to them about what their needs are and how their family is doing. Just know free and Charitable Clinics are putting people first, and that is a great thing i get to be connected with everyday. Host Kaiser Health news says free clinics try to fill gaps as covid sweeps away jobbased insurance. As the pandemic continues, how much of your work of the clinics work your work, of the clinics work, is in the Mental Health area . Guest i think it will i think it will even grow. There will be a dramatic need for Mental Health providers. Our providers, providers in the hospital. Not,er people like this or a lot of our work now is in the Mental Health area. We know that will ramp up for our patients and providers. From edith inhear brandon florida brandon, florida. Caller yes, thank you for taking my call. Number two, as my husband works for a company that works for nonprofits, and his company is a nonprofit as well. I believe everybody who works in free clinics and nonprofit organizations like his are heroes that are kind of unsung. No one knows about them or ever hears about them, but they do a lot. They really should be acknowledged like people who work in the hospitals and stuff. I wondered if you mightve felt the same way. Guest i think you so much for that comment and complement. I will make sure all of my members know you said that today. I absolutely agree. I will say, unfortunately, at this point in time, free and charitable clinic are americas best health care secret and we should not be. The work our clinics are providing on a daily basis, many times, at their own cost. Cost, is amazing. I would say it is the best of our country. I jokingly say to our clinics that i have a job in washington, d. C. That my 92 grandma 92yearold grandma could be proud of and i thank them for giving me that opportunity. All of the people that used to go to the Nonprofit Sector are needing to be celebrated. You mentionede earlier your alliance and associations alliance with cbs. Seles tell us about that on what they provide you, what the partnership is, and do you see potential for more of those publicprivate partnerships . Guest absolutely. I think the privatepublic partnerships are critical for our organization and other organizations. Cbs has been an amazing partner to the National Association of free clinics for years. They help our clinics grow and our capacity, in our value, and in the quality of care we have given tower patients. Our are helping us expand telehealth model, so we can see even more people during this pandemic and in the future. In the past, they have helped us with diabetes, hypertension, smoking sensation and making sure our patients have access to care. I think they really want to join with us in building healthier communities and healthier america. Also, the partners at direct relief have helped us through Hurricane Harvey and through this pandemic with multimillion dollar commitments to helping us also address telehealth. They are also helping keep our doors open, paying doctors and nurses. Things the private public partnership, one of the great things coming out of these, we are learning from these companies on best practices, as they teach us, but we also teach them on how we are providing care and how we can work better together. We would love to see for more responsibility like this, other companies to take the lead and support the work we do or works of other nonprofits so we can continue moving to this pandemic and into the future. Host you mentioned being based in washington. How does your association actively engage, lobby with congress on issues important to the association . Guest we spend a great deal of time educating congress on who we are, and what we do. Jokingly, they call me the free clinic lady when i walk around the halls of congress, which is nice. Under the cares act, congress ,eally did very specific things establishing the funding for covid and treatments for covid, they made sure that free and Charitable Clinics were part of program and they expanded volunteer protection under the volunteer act. By doing those things, they are making sure free and Charitable Clinics are taking care of. We are hopeful, in the next round of funding, congress would consider, in that fund for uninsured testing, may separate pools of money. One for hospitals and one for nonprofit entities like ourselves, so we can make sure everyone is having access to that care. We are hoping Congress Makes a financial commitment to the Nonprofit Sector at large, because we have been amazing partners to them. We would love to have more volunteer protections past the 2021 deadline Congress Said for covid so we can make sure more people can volunteer their time. One thing congress has been great about learning from us is understanding we dont fit their bucket of where they have looked at where health care is. And really having that open dialogue that, just because a clinic will not that does not mean there are not people that need help. We had that open dialogue. It has been a lot of miles on my fitbit. Host lets hear from frank in northport, new york. Caller can you hear me . Host yes, we can. Caller nicole, hi. I just want to thank you and applaud you, rather, for what you do. I doubt, very much, that you are making the kind of salary the ceos of these companies and hospital administrations and the like are making. I thought the gentleman from kentucky was spot on in a sense that the market is driven and that isoncepts what is really wrong here. I wanted to ask if you are familiar with a book called an american sickness, how health care in the beginning of the book, she talks about the history of health care and how it was notforprofit. Im not sure how true this is, but it was illegal. Maybe im misquoting or misunderstanding, but i wanted to know if you are familiar with the book and thank you again for what you do. Host thank you, frank. Guest i will check out that book. Im not familiar with it, but im always looking for new things to read. I will definitely check that out. Host gladys is next up, calling from irving, texas. Caller hello . Host hi, gladys. You are on the air. Caller good morning. I just wanted to tell nicole, you are looking so beautiful, first of all. You have a wonderful color. She looks so beautiful. I hope you hear me all right. Host we hear you fine. Caller thank you for the work you are doing. Im going to make three or four quick points. Yearsher lived to be 95 plus on gods green earth. She did not believe in going to the doctor. Trusting god to be her healer. She was old school. God did not disappoint my mother. Im so proud of her. Years lived to be 95 plus , never was on any kind of drugs, period. She would have been the mother of 12, had all of her children lived. Survived,of them except a stillborn twoyearold. The eight of us are still here, and doing good. Im taking after my mother. Im not going to tell my age but im over 50, and i am part of the trump team. I want to respond to the man that called to say why is the president Walking Around without a mask, he didnt understand it, understand it, etc. I dont wear a mask. I happened to go into my ice cream polar parlor in my city the other day. I got out short shorts, excited to get out for the first time, because it is a nice day. My legs are not 100 but they are looking pretty good. I had on short shorts, no mask on, but everybody in the ice cream parlor has mask. I dont know, but it seemed like i had a few haters and there. Host gladys, we will let you know there. On thent really touched mask issue. Im sure in your clinics, you have issued guidance to all of them. Guest absolutely. I will say i understand people do not want to wear masks. I will tell you i do wear a mask. I have been quarantined myself. I have been ill in the past and my husband has been quarantined. We do wear masks and we wear them for protection of other people as well. We dont know what we have been exposed to, but we know at our clinics, one of our biggest needs has been the lack of ppe. We continue to ask for masks, gloves, and shields. All those who have donated, we can do that on our website. A cdc guidance of one on how when and how you should wear a mask. As for the president , i think that is up to the president s doctor to make that decision himself. Host you talk about how the free and Charitable Clinics get most of their funding through charity, very little federal or state aid, but in the federal response to the pandemic, some of the packages that have developed are being and are being developed in response, are you concerned there may be Strings Attached . How do you ensure there are no Strings Attached for your clinics in terms of who you can serve as a patient . Guest absolutely. I think we have been looking closely on what the rules and regulations are. If there is a way to have those conversations, we go to some of our champions on the hill and have those active conversations for them. Right now, what i am more concerned about is the find set up for the uninsured, covid testing and treatment. I want to make sure those providers are that are outside of the hospital setting will access some of those funds. We have been talking to members of congress to make sure things are based on a medicare payment to understand this will take a while for many of these providers who dont normally think it is safe to fill out the grant applications, they are taking a lot of time and compromise to make sure there are no Strings Attached but to make sure that money is there and available for those clinics doing something. That is my bigger concern. Host is there a Patient First for that kind of facility in a town, how does an individual determine what kind of facility they should use . Guest if you have insurance in any sort of way, you should go to your provider. If you have insurance, thirdparty insurance, blue cross blue shield, or kaiser, go to your provider. If you have medicaid or medicare, find a provider or utilize a Health Center or federally qualified Health Center. Thisu are uninsured at point in time, go to our website and look for a facility near you. We will help you understand whether or not you will come to our clinic. Each clinic has different eligibility requirements area whether you should go to a federally qualified Health Center or to a Health Department. We know there are so many people who are uninsured, and this is brandnew territory for them. Between ourselves and community navigators, we know that people in each community can help you find where you need to go. Host just a reminder, the line for medical professionals are is 202 7488002. We hear from sandeep, in kent, in kent, ohio. Caller hello. Governor dewine, yesterday, in the middle of this Health Care Crisis, he cut the budget for medicaid and schools. Im concerned, is he going to kick people off of medicaid and maybe they would have to come to your clinics . Why would he cut in the middle of a Health Care Crisis . He could cut the budget somewhere else besides the schools, which may be getting ready to start back up in september. Im so confused about these budget cuts. Thank you. Guest thank you, sandy. At this point in time, governors are looking closely at all of their state budgets. I dont know, i havent read the decision as to why the governor of ohio made that decision yesterday. I will do research for that for you. At this point in time, we are watching exactly what youre talking about, what the governors in all states are doing, what funding will be coming out of the federal government, and helping our clinics gear up for those patients that will be coming to see them in the future. Host the expansion of medicaid under the Affordable Care act, does that affect your clinics . Guest i think it did a couple things. It was absolutely a first step to getting some people access to care. As we talked about, not all states expended medicaid under the act. It was not a singlepayer or universal health care system, so as i mentioned, there is 27 million, now much more, people uninsured at this point in time. Even though people have access to medicaid, there are still some things they have to have help with, dental care is definitely one we talk about. There is a need for dental care. Mental health care, and medication access. The high cost of medication, for many people, is preventing them from going to get the care they need. Even with the expansion of medicaid in some states, we have found those with insurance still have questions for our clinics, and also, we find there are people who roll on and off of medicaid. They may be hourly or seasonal workers. Even they even though they may have been expanded, it is not all year long. Host we hear from ramona in clarkston, georgia. Go ahead. Caller oh yes. Thank you for expecting my call. I appreciated much. I appreciated very much. This young lady has touched my heart so much. Caresid her association about the lives, preserving life and giving health care to maintain lines. It touched me because the , and his cronies or whatever, they want to open up the economy, which is jeopardizing lives. Is moreke, the economy important than life, but you want to preserve life with your association. That means you are a leader. That means you are thinking areofthebox, and you thinking bigger than our own government. That touched me because you want to help lives, and the economy isthinks the more important in life. Which dontorgia, expand medicaid. We have a huge, homeless population. On clinics like you. I just want to appreciate you. I will be praying for you. God bless you. Host thank you, ramona in georgia. Guest thank you. I take your complement but i will give it back to the leaders of the free and charitable Clinic Movement. These people have really decided to put people over politics. Nonprofit, Nonpartisan Organization that believes it is our job to provide access to health care to the medically underserved in this country. Thank you for your compliments to me, but it is those people who deserve the compliment. Host it is the National Association of free and Charitable ClinicsNicole Lamoureux tonight on q a, a look at the american president. Story has often been the kennedys father was the one pulling the strings but there are multiple times when jack kennedy brought up the pulitzer surprise pulitzer prize. He said he would rather have that than be president. So because he had a strong desire for literary fame, he got himself the prize. In washington dc, people had been gossiping, did he really write that book . I wonder how much money they are getting out of the royalty checks royalty checks . But the pulitzer changed it and made it an ethical and moral question. I looked at the letters kennedy received in 1957. School teachers were sending him letters asking him if he had written the book. At 8 00 p. M. Ght eastern on cspans q a.
