Rafael Flores had not seen a health care provider since he arrived in the U.S. from Honduras four years ago.
But that changed Tuesday as the Bear resident waited outside of the Saint Clare Medical Outreach Van in hopes of having a small piece of debris removed from his eye.
The debris fell in his eye Monday while cleaning his backyard, but he didn’t notice until he woke up with a distressed eye this morning. Since he was uninsured, a few of his friends recommended the van parked at the Job Placement Center on Lancaster Avenue Tuesday as a potential solution to his problem.

(CNN) Black adults were more likely than their White and Latino/Hispanic counterparts to report having been discriminated against or judged unfairly by a health care provider or their staff in the months leading up to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new analysis finds.
The report was released this week by the Urban Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The study, conducted in September 2020, found that 10.6% of Black nonelderly adults said they faced discrimination while seeking care based on their race, sexual orientation, disability, gender or health condition, compared to 3.6% of White adults and 4.5% of Latino adults. Race and ethnicity were the top factors cited in unfair treatment.
