Third City Community Clinic is so proud to have a long standing partnership with CHI St. Francis! Thank you so much for this funding! We appreciate you and everything you do for our community.

CHI Health St. Francis recently awarded $75,000 in grants to three Grand Island non-profit organizations to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable and underserved populations. The CommonSpirit Community Health Improvement Grants program addresses some of the greatest health needs in the region by emphasizing prevention, engaging community stakeholders and building upon existing services in the community.

In Grand Island, CHI Health St. Francis awarded $27,500 to the First Light Child Advocacy Center, $27,500 to the Multicultural Coalition of Grand Island and $20,000 to the Third City Community Clinic.

“These grants are one of the many ways St. Francis puts our mission and values into practice. Supporting access to vital services delivered by non-profits in our community helps ensure individuals and families are able to obtain the services they need, and contributes to overall well-being of our region,” said Steve Schieber, president, St. Francis.

CommonSpirt, of which CHI Health is a member, offers the grant program annually to improve community health and enhance local service systems. Collaborating 501(c)3 non-profit organizations apply to St. Francis to receive grant funds to address significant issues identified in local community health needs assessments.

We want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone at Island View Dental for hosting our FREE Dental Extraction Clinic yesterday! And.....another HUGE THANK YOU to UNMC College of Dentistry for bringing their students to Grand Island and making this clinic a possibility! We look forward to working with all of you in the future in order to help relieve some of the dental pain our community is feeling. Dental care is a luxury that not everyone can afford. Especially now that so many dentists in Nebraska are no longer accepting Medicaid patients. We hope this helped everyone involved and we look forward to planning our next clinic! www.thirdcityclinic.com Third City Community Clinic

The Third City Community Clinic is working with national programs to help Nebraskans get free prescriptions to those in need.

According to the clinic, in the last 6 months, over 300 central Nebraskans have received prescriptions completely free because of Americares and Dispensary of Hope.

Both Americares and Dispensary of Hope help provide medications for underprivileged people. Misty Schaecher, the executive director at Third City, said that Americares also helps with preparing Project Connect, an event dedicated to providing services to those that are homeless or in need, with prescriptions.

“We’re able to get things besides just medications, but we can’t control of what they’re going to have every week. Every week, it’s a list that’s totally different, you order by the case, which is how we’re preparing for Project Connect next week, by using all of those Americares items that were non-prescription,” Schaecher said.

For Dispensary of Hope, the clinic has to pay $7,500 a year to get medications like unlimited insulin access and more. Kelli Eriksen, a nurse at Third City, said that can have a big impact on their patients taking the insulin as prescribed.

Eriksen said when people can’t afford insulin, they might try to ration it, but that’s not healthy for them and can cause issues.

“It’s important they’re checking their blood glucose and taking their insulin according to their glucose levels so they don’t go into any, hyper or hypoglycemic episodes,” Eriksen said.

If you would like to donate to the Third City Community Clinic, staff recommend to go to their website here. If you have items to donate, they say to bring those into the clinic.
